I finally figured out the no bubble part. I did get a little bleed from the epoxy in the legs but it just makes them look hairy:D Being that maple is easier to saw than ebony the spider shape turned out better too. Even the fangs:D Critiques welcome, how else will I learn?

Hey, Jim! What did you finish with? I was thinking(always a dangerous proposition.) Could you lace a bit of CA as a sealant in the spider cutout before filling with the black epoxy to stop the bleedout?[:)]

I hate spiders! Hairy spiders are even worse![}:)][:D]

First thing I thought of after seeing the "hair"[:eek:)] The finish is 4 sprayed on coats of Deft lacquer from a spray can followed by 0000 steel wool and McGuires car cleaner polish.

Ron, the bottom is all segmented. Just the spider itself is epoxy, his dangle thread is black veneer.
