Ice cream, Pizza, and Small Bowls

[JohnU]

I thought I'd share a few things I cast and turned over the last couple weeks for my AAW demo… "Resin Casting for the Woodturner".

I wanted my ice cream handle to resemble…
ice cream (color cast) and my pizza cutter to have a pizza image. (inner round blank wrapped with pizza image, clear cast and capped with wood)

The two small bowls… blue and silver cast stabilized buckeye burl and green mica and dye over an ash limb piece that fell in the back yard.
The last is a dandelion turned "semi round" but left large to show how resin magnifies small objects.

I was experimenting with mold options and casting techniques so turning them was just for fun to see how they would look when turned.

Thanks for looking and all comments welcome.

I take it you like caramel ice cream , and black olives on your pizza . The blue is a bit too intense for my taste . Love the dandelion magnification idea . Excellent demos of what can be done with casting !

Top shelf examples of casting. You've got it figured out, well done. Great examples for your presentation. I'm sure it went well and was appreciated by many.

Very creative for the scoop and pizza cutter. Seems the bowls are a bit small for ice cream...at least for me.

Very nice. I watched the video of you castling the Dandelions. I like the way it turned out. Thank you for sharing your techniques and ideas.

Hi Jonn,
Those are just great! I would have never thought about doing a label cast blank for a pizza cutter. - Very Creative. - Dave

Pretty cool!! Cast a dandelion seed "flower"

Most of you may not know that JohnU has finally decided to start his own YouTube channel!! Certainly this is Exotics' loss, but we will be referring questions to his videos and to John who is tremendously generous with his time. There are a dozen or so up! Stop by and subscribe!! While you...
