Maybe you can steer me in the right direction. I need to make some bottle stoppers, i want to use a dark wood like Bubinga or ? I want to cut a recess in the top the whole width. I was thinking of going either 1/8" to 3/16" deep & inside of it I want to use those stick on letters from a hobby shop.
1st question is what would look better just stick the letters to the wood or put something inside of it (like colored paper) then add the letters to that?
2nd question is I want to cover it with a clear resin like material but about this I'm completely lost. Would you use a pen casting resin or is there some other stuff you would use? depending on how it looks I will only be making a few of them so I don't want to spend a whole lot of money initially. If it comes out well I'll be trying to add a range of different things to the top of the stoppers.
Thanks for the help
