    George,

    That loofah effect is fabulous. It looks like you've captured cobwebs or the mycelium of a fungal growth in the resin.

    Great boxes.Using Loofar is really thinking outside the square and they're cheap too. You could grow your own.

    Great work, very effective and nice finish.
    I have a couple burl pieces that need some voids filled. Not having done this before, what would you reccomend to fill with.

    Just too, too special... although I have no idea what you/others mean by loofah. Isn't that a big sponge from the bathroom? I obviously don't come here often enough.

    Yep, that the stuff, bathroom back scrubber. The stringy bit inside some gourds, Loofah!

    I really like the Loofah!

    Very cool!

    The loofah is probably my favorite too.
    It might be interesting to add color to the loofah fibers for effect.
    I wonder if sea sponge would work...
