New hybrids

Been on a hybrid blank making kick lately. Here are the newest.

I really like that clean feathering (for lack of a better term) on the wood/resin line on the one on the right. It's striking.

Very Nice. - I've been thinking about trying to cast some hybrid blanks, but I have to make a block mold first. Am I correct in assuming that your "splintered" wood pieces were simply natural breaks? - Dave

I'm a big fan of hybrid blanks.

Those look really good.

I also like the 'feathered/splintered' look. Very nice; thanks for sharing.

Yep, but not necessarily "natural." I take a blank, put it in the vice and hit it with a sledge until it breaks (lol). Spread it out a little, then put it an a mold, pour and pressure pot it. I get pieces of exotic hardwood flooring from a local shop so I end up with a lot of cumaru, jatoba, teak, wenge, and other goodies for cheap (99 cents a blank). Here are some more.

Well done! The break does give it a very cool look.
