Very nice!
First one is awesome, and really like the more pearlized resin ones. These cast yourself?

Hi George, these boxes are stunning, the fusion of wood and resin is outstanding. Do you use a pressure/vacuum pot to create the blanks? Is it PR or other type of resin?

Great little boxes George, you finish is excellent and your pics quality does help a lot to show the pieces, well done mate...!

You took to your own casting as fish take to the water, mate...!

Thanks George, I didn't see the names at first. Damn 4" Android!

I'd love to see a YouTube video of you turning one of these wonderful creations. It looks like a lot of fun and I'm confident others here would find it inspiring.

Stunning! You should consider giving us a casting tutorial on now you made the blanks. You have an obvious talent. I am just getting ready to start casting my own blanks and am eager to learn as much as possible.

here is a very short you tube video of me turning one of elmostro's colour explosion blanks into a box- i made it to show the negative rake scraping technique i prefer to use.

Those are some amazing little creations. Makes me want to try making some.

Awesome work. That would be hard to pick just one. I do like the red one though.
