When you said something was missing, then brought out the spalted maple, oh, you were so right! It makes the whole piece pop: light with dark figuring, against dark with light. Great choice! I'm not surprised it sold so quickly.

I think you're right, Jim. It's the combo of Designer Epoxy, pressure pot and time that made it clean with no air bubbles. A super cool and interesting piece! I'd love to see another one with maybe a lighter shade of pigment, or maybe even clear, so that the wood shavings speak for themselves.

I was thinking the same thing... like a clear epoxy.... and maybe do the rice trick to get the hallow before the turn that way you won't use so much ( but then again you get that bag stuck in the epoxy too. 🤔) I think this is really beautiful. It gives me sort of wood suspended in water feel.

Honestly I cant get my brain around how much I actually love this piece. The designer epoxy definitely makes a big difference, but the amount of forethought you put into keeping the shavings clean was a big factor. Incredible stuff, thanks Jim

I like the 3D effect of this hollow form. At first I was not sure about the colour, if I was to be honest, but it’s growing on me that’s for sure. I think is goes really good with the colour of the wood chips. I do like it best when it’s well lit from the top. It shows the 3D of the piece best, and it looks like calm water and the farther away the shaving is the darker it gets. It’s pretty cool when you see it with the best lighting. Designer Epoxy
