Here is a small candy dish that I made from colored pencils cast in clear resin.

Really like your ingenuity.

Great bowl.

 

[Russknan]

Neat idea - and execution! Thinking outside of the . . . bowl. Russ

 

[Dan Masshardt]

Did you glue them together first?

 

[jchoponis]

Added a picture to show them all cast at the same time.

Nice job, is this the end product of a photo on the CSUSA website? They had a photo of a bowl blank made from colored pencils today and were wondering if the blank would survive turning.

Friggin AWESOME!!!!

The end result is SOOO much cooler that I would have thought had I heard the idea before I saw it.

Eric - that was not mine on CSUSA today. I did reply to that post showing it is possible.

Now for the obvious question.

How steamed were the kids when you took all their colored pencils to make another bowl???:biggrin:

 

[joefrog]

I can't even express how COOL I think this is! Love that idea!

 

[southernclay]

That is awesome, great job! This would be a viral YouTube video.....in the woodturning community at least

 

[bobleibo]

That is simply incredible. I never cease to be amazed at the imagination that comes from people on this site.

 

[Brooks803]

That's awesome!

I to saw the one posted by CSUSA. It looked like theirs is a glue up though and not cast like yours. Personally....I'd turn the cast blank. For the other I'd wear a Kevlar vest and face shield!

 

[jimjam66]

That is sinfully cute! Nice work.

 

[johncrane]

Awesome great idea!

I first saw that at the Florida Woodturning Symposium 2012 at Lady Lake Fl.

Went looking for the photos but unfortunately I think they were in a computer that crashed and are gone.


But I found this on the Florida Woodturning symposium site in the 2011 galleries...
