Using a clear glass ornament as a casting form for the colored resin

Solid resin ornament to be hollowed. Several scraper tools

Scraping with edge of gouge. Resin must be scraped rather than cut off the bevel

Chris likes Easy tools because of flat rather than upturned edge on carbide insert

David F. brought spalted Birch for raffle

Apply dye with pipette. Chris uses Metal Complex dyes because more fade resistant.

The dyed hollowform can be hung from this internal hook

Silver Maple bowl first dyed yellow overall and then dry dye is melted with acetone from pipette
