Black Widow on a Maple Burl BS

[firewhatfire]

I had the great pleasure(not) of putting my hand on a black widow last week. After doing the spider dance I chased this one down with poison and then after defeating the monsterous beast I dropped it in acetone cause that's what was close by. Decisions had to be made on a proper disposal and for the sake of historical purposes I found a way to preserve the beast for future generations. I placed it on a maple burl and cast it in clear resin. Sadly there are a couple of air bubbles (I guess it last breath) I turned it display site would be prominent from any direction. Comments and critiques are welcome and thanks for lookińg.

Interesting use of the spider! We have those things all over the place where I live. Gotta be careful going outside at night.

It's a good thing that you posted this on a turning site !! If you posted that on youtube, the spider peope would be crawling all over you. Great use of a found object !! Jim S

I love that you have cast it into a Bottle Stopper, Phil.
I expect that you will put your prized bottle with this Stopper, as it will be very safe.
There are a lot of Arachnophobian's out there and they won't go anywhere near it.
Clever thinking.

Did you hear that? It was the sound my wife makes when she sees a spider. I think everyone around here heard it.
