Seeing as how I've been having trouble finding wood blanks the right size to turn for yarn bowls (5x5x5, and unfortunately I don't own a band saw), I thought I'd try casting a blank. I used a small paint bucket as a mold, and sunk a 2 inch diameter pieces of pvc with a taped off bottom in the middle to save resin and labor. As a prototype it was pretty successful, but I've found that it's really hard to get all the tool marks out, and I definitely need longer tools.
