Here are a couple of firsts for me. Well the WW is not my firsts but the firsts that I was patient enough to let finish before trying to take them out just so the wood and PR can seperate.

I just thew them up between centers to round them out and see what they would look like, 3 coats med Ca and a quick hit w/ Wet 600 and Hut Ultra High Gloss. I am very happy w/ this WW but I did a piece of Juniper as well at the same time and there are bubbles between the wood and PR. It is odd becasue these were done at the same time & same process and colors. Maybe it was not totally dry. Who know. Never the less I am happy w/ them.

The first is a piece of Tamerisk Live Edge that I got from Shadetree_1 cast in PR w/ Pearl Ex
Second is a piece of California Olive Burl Live Edge also in PR and P-Ex
The last is a piece of spalted maple that I stabilized in Cactus Juice and dyed Red. It came out ok but I would like the Red to be darker, it looks like dark pink in person. I will step up my dye by about 50% to see what that does for me.
