I don't post here nearly as often as I should, but here's some of my latest work.
These are two of my castings made with two different species cones cast using clear epoxy resin. The red is a partially opened Sugar Pine cast with red metallic color. Because the wood was so dry and porous, the color was able to penetrate deep.
The lighter cone is a Knobby Pine and comes from a closed cone so the wood is very dense and hasn't oxidized. This is cast using gold and a couple of seed shells on the cap give it an interesting appearance. Because of the density, the gold formed small veins throughout instead of saturating the wood.
Enjoy!
