Made a blank long ago, and this lid was originally on a box made frim the same blank. I cast offcut pen blanks in a 3 colour mixed resin, but alas the box split quite literally on the last scrape. :vangry: so the lid sat there waiting. Had one piece of the very dry spalted beech left, and as it was no good for a natural finish, I decided to try and make it look like stone, weather it worked or not is debatable, but, it's still better like this than 2 useless leftovers.:nooidea:

This is the sort of stuff with Brody's signature on it. Maybe not your best piece but if it there was a quiz of guess who made this, there wouldn't be anyone else I could think of. I like the top despite being plastic but am not sure about the bottom as it looks like a plastic bin in the photo.... but excellent enterprise nevertheless.

That's the sort of thing that will be worth thousands when you've gone ... a class piece.


PS Stop using the coalshed roof as a background for your pics.:down:

Wow, Brody man, I think I put the wrong mushrooms on my pizza! :whistling:

Its certainly very different, I like the lid alot, I like the base, not too sure about their togetherness. :imsorry:

Great work though, maybe experiment with a bit of material speed dating to find a more loving partner for the lid, you know not some stone bowl hussy that will be off with the next lid that comes along.

Now, back to my pizza.:bwink:

Brody, the lid is fantastic, we all have the little leftovers from resin blanks and try to think of things to do with them. You have cracked it with this one.
