When I cut up a block of Alumilite White that I had cast in red, white, and blue, I got a pile of tri-color saw shavings. I thought they looked interesting, so I packed some into a mold and cast them in Alumilite Clear. This is the result

For as many people that are on this site, there doesn't seem to be very many people voting. Is this normal?

 

[Brooks803]

Compared to the other polls this is about average. I'd definitely like to have more voters though!
