My First Fusion Blank

[Bowl Slinger]

I made these 2 bottle stopper blanks last night and turned the first one tonight. The wood is wormy buckeye burl. I did not use a pressure pot so I was slightly skeptical about getting the PR into the cracks and crevices. I heated the PR and used a plastic turkey injector syringe (dont tell the wife) and painstakingly filled all of the worm holes ten cast the block in a mold. I am extremely pleased with the results. C&C are welcome.:glasses-cool:

Wow, i never thought of using a syringe. Blanks look like they were in a pressure pot. Great job.

Looks good. I would not have thought you could do that without pressure.

That's one heck of a nice stopper. Those things should sell faster than you can make them. Awesome. Thanks for sharing.

very cool!! How did you finish it? Is that a CA finish over the resin and the wood?
