Looks like your giving Eugene a run for his money.

Using the mini cones makes this turning look a lot bigger....right up until ya stuck your finger in the photo to give it something to be compared too



Do you use some kind of revesre mold to save resin whilst making these blanks? Or is it something that you purchased somewhere?




Great use of the color against the cones!!

Thank you for all of your kind comments- I really appreciate them.

Just a normal square/rectangular mold Scott- that way I'm not limited to a specific type of design
