Beautiful pen....it made me sad to see all of that live edge being turned away though, it would have looked great in a hybrid resin blank!

I was pretty sad myself. I was thinking that I should of put it through the scroll saw and saved the edge rather than turning it off. Oh well, more in the draws and some on its way from Croatia. Maybe the next time.

Thanks Jim,

I have not left a pump running more than 2 1/2 hours as by that time the noise is driving me mad. At that point I'm still getting the odd bubble rising. I have only done a few stabilising sessions and because of work I have ended up leaving the wood in the resin for more than a week.
