Here is my contribution from the casts that Neil did at Sturdee's place last weekend.
I got one of the casts with the Sheoak pods, and green resin which I think had some mica in it. I soaked the drilled hole with thin CA, and then redrilled as suggested by Neil to help prevent seperation. I painted the tubes black before gluing in.
For some reason I struggled to get decent photos today. I don't know if it is the contrasting colours in the blanks that upset the camera. Didn't seem to happen to the one Amos did though with similar colours. This is the best of what I got.
I have one more cast left which is a burl cast. Hopefully I will get it done next weekend.
