Nice work. I really appreciate you showing the ocean pour
If you masked it you could have painted it then pulled the masking off. Also wouldn't get the burn marks
I watched that video in 2x speed on my break and briefly stopped 2x and it was trippy soundly slomo
does the resin harden thin when your making the ocean scene? I fear if I tried that it would end up lopsided at the end
Great stuff
Very nice!
Was the paint water based?
Yes. It is an acrylic craft paint.
Thank you for sharing. I saw your mixing resin tutorial, did you mix any powder for this? The powder you used in the other video was the same color as the acrylic ink. This turned out so nicely.
I mixed a black pigment powder and acrylic ink. I am glad you liked it!
Very professional solution.
Thank you. Hope it helps.
These coasters look fantastic! I also love the zero waste aspect of this project. It’s a lot of effort however, I have some friends who are “wood connoisseurs” who would go wild for these! Great job!
Thank you!
thx for sharing
You bet!

Hope it helps!
Just found your channel. LOVING your videos - especially where you combine laser and resin (my two favorite crafts).
Working with resin has brought a whole new level to my laser crafts! Now experimenting with sculpting with polymer clay + resin + laser! Just keeps getting more fun!
What a great method! I can't wait to try this! Thanks! EDIT: I was just thinking - I bet this would work with glitter, too. I gotta try that, also!
Sure would. I am not a glitter girl myself but the possibilities are endless.
EXCELLENGT PRESENTATION, Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks!
You are most welcome and appreciated!
Hello. I just purchased something from Bumblechute’s using your link and it did NOT provide me with any type of discount… Did I miss something?
I am so sorry. I went back to look at my description and found that I forgot to put the coupon code in. I apologize. If you would like to email me at [email protected], maybe I can do something to make up for it. Once again, I am very sorry for my mistake.
These are all so great!
Thank you. It is so much fun to find ways to use items that we already have!
Keep watching for more fun DIY projects!
These are easy and fun projects to make for gifts or for your upcoming craft show. Check description for free designs.
Nice! What bit are you using to cut this?
1/4" downcut spiral bit
Love This. I do something similar. Where you are wiping away the paint I wrap my wet paper towel in a cricut scraper (As that is what I have - any type of squeegee would work) and use as a squeegee and find I get a nice clean scrape without wiping away the paint from the design.
That's a great idea!
Very nice work. As an artist, I see the turtles as too dark, silhouetted on the shallow surface. Could simply be attributed to bad lighting in the room. Perhaps clear filler for the turtles or a gradation of color used on the turtles - from light to dark - would look more convincing to the shallows. Either way, what a process this took. Great job!
Thanks for the tips!
What resin inlay you have used? Talking about the black ink.
I am not quite sure what you are asking.
Love this!!!
Thank you.
Is everything you're using on the surface of this cutting board food grade, or just the top coat?
The top of the cutting board has a clear coat of a tabletop epoxy that is FDA approved for food contact. We leave the back blank so people can use the back to cut on and serve on the front.
Nice project but I could never do the detail painting.
It is not as bad as you think. After color filling the white, where you see the black is actually higher than the white, so it is easy to lightly touch that raised area. I have moderate arthritis and don't have a problem. Sometimes I will even have to use a magnifying glass, but is really easier than you think.
Where did you get the printer?
I have an Epilog laser. You could use a CNC or even hand carve with a chisel or an electric hand carver.
Love this!
Thank you!
Nicely done. They look great.
Thank you kindly
Great idea, they came out awesome!!
Glad you like them!
Beautiful work, what’s the name of the silicon mold you’re using ?
That looks like a form. The embedded level is pretty cool.
In this video, I use a Ahonui Artisans No Seal HDPE Reuseable Epoxy Resin Form 4.25" x 17". I like to cut the coasters. However, I also have a super thick and durable silicone coaster mold from Crafted Elements. Hope that helps.

The Gecko is very cute!
Can you tell me what shelllac is used in this video? I am trying to colour fill engraved letters on a wooden sign without the top of the sign been painted. I want to use shellac & this seemed to work for in this video? Thanks
I used Bullseye Spray Shellac for this video. You can also brush on. If you are in a country that does not have shellac, you can still usually find natural shellac flakes and make your own. It is a lot cheaper and has less additives. Good luck.
cnc machine?
I used a laser but you could use a cnc or even hand carve. Pretty simple design.
Loved this thank you. Now I need to get some resin.
Have fun!
This is so BEAUTIFUL!!
Thank you!
DM us if your interested!
So what did you make?
Charcuterie Board
THANK YOU BEAUTIFUL
So Glad you liked it. I've been too busy to make more, but can't wait to do another one.
I can't wait to share all the projects that I am making with this! 😂
Thanks a lot for this video. Can I use something different than schellak? Can’t buy that in NL. I’m looking for a substitute to seal my wood before the epoxy inlay.
Have you tried looking for all natural shellac flakes? If you can get those, you can actually make your own shellac with just the flakes and denatured alcohol. I did a quick search and supposedly, you can get shellac flakes there. Have you heard of Bunnings New Zealand? Try there. If you can find it, then search for videos on how to make your own. If not, you can experiment with polyurethane. Just remember, if this is for food contact, you should seal everything with a food safe epoxy.
What if the wood is stained? I just painted some engraved signs but there’s paint all over the piece. Can I sand it without messing up the stain?
Sanding can mess up the stain. I would suggest engraving, then sealing with a waterproof sealer first like a urethane. You can still use shellac, just do multiple coats and let it cure (up to 7 days). Then you should be able to just wipe off instead of sanding. Alway experiment on some scrap wood first though. Good luck.
You can make dog statues out of the bark......... Sorry for the bad joke.
Does it have to be an actual dog, or what they leave on the lawn? No worries, I live with the "Dad Joke Master"!
Bravo good sir!
What could you make with the left over bark pieces? Comment below.😉
Brilliant. Now I can add that to my project inlays. You are the best!
Glad I could help!
