My first castings

[08K.80]

These are my first three attempts at casting.

The pictures are paired and are of the same slab.
The first set of pictures are truly of the same slab. When the slab is turned, it has a whole different color. This stuff didn't do that in my other projects...a nice surprise.

Be gentle...:redface:

They look great. I look forward to seeing the pens you make with them.

Run them through the saw and let's see what they look like on the inside

 

[Kenny Durrant]

WOW those are great. Looks like burled acrylic instead of swirled. Ha Ha.

Those look very nice, I'd like to see what's inside as well.

What material did you cast? It looks like Alumilite.

Happy turning

Nice!!! What are you using for a mold?

 

[William Menard]

first one looks like peacock feathers, would love to get a stick of that one

Great job on your casting. Fantastic colors. I especially like the middle one. As stated above, looks like a burl rather than a swirl.:biggrin:

Thanks. I haven't decided what I'm making with them yet.

It is polyester resin from the craft store.

Nice!!! What are you using for a mold?

They are from the craft store next to the resin. They had several different kinds and shapes. I used the little square one.
