Another beauty George!!
What do you use for a casting resin?

 

[bobleibo]

Wow, I really like the way the colors blend with each other and the finished product just as well.
Any chance you have pics of what the blank looks like before you turned it? That is always interesting.

That is beautiful. I may have to go out and pick up some acorns before it snows, assuming the squirrels haven't got them all.
