In the latest American Woodturner, I saw where Esther Bar was making things out of coffee, egg shells and epoxy resin. I decided to give it a try using PR since it is much cheaper than epoxy and I had some on hand. Nope, not the greatest of ideas. PR shrinks as it cures and did not adhere to the egg shells very well. I did not cast it under pressure either. This little box was very challenging to turn. Extremely chippy around the egg shells. I almost gave up on it but went ahead and finished it. I think I used too many egg shells as well. If I do another one, it will be with epoxy or alumilite.
