Chris Craig from King Oak Crafters ( / @chriscraig6409 ) used one of our large 11.5x5" deep casting silicone molds to create a blank to turn on the lathe. The result is a beautiful maple and epoxy resin creation.

Thank you for this. I play with resin and my husband has just started playing on the lathe and asked me if we could combine the 2.
My introduction to resin was watching a video similar to this. I fell in love. I don't have a woodshop, but someday I will. I'm definitely working my way up to create something as beautiful as your piece here. Thank you for sharing your process!
that was terrific, awesome fella. a really great teacher. hope to see much more.
Turned out, amazing! Nice work. I love the color.
He did a great job for sure
Beautiful work, I would never think that’s the first time you did that! I need a lathe!
A negative rake carbide is the way go for resin.
watching the little screw on your table while you were sanding (10-11 minute mark) and it finally fell. Really nice work on the bowl. I am just starting on some Olive burl pieces. I screwed up the first one by allowing it to get too hot and the resin was shattered. Would like to see you handle a burl.
I didn't catch what kind of epoxy you are using
Is this concept 'over-kill' for fixing blanks with cracks as opposed to full on resin turning? thanks...
Yes, its really for making partial resin and wood blanks, rather than just doing basic filling of voids and cracks.
Couple of notes; how well does the epoxy adhere to wet wood as you submersed it in water in the mold to determine how much epoxy you needed and you didn't weigh down the wood to keep it from floating? Also epoxy and wood have entirely different densities for finishing did how you take that into consideration?
We wouldn't submerse wood in water. Epoxy isnt going to do well with wet wood. Wood needs to be weighed or clamped down to prevent it from floating on top of the epoxy.
@@CraftedElements Not what the video said, in order to get his calculation for how much epoxy he needed he poured water over the wood in the container and measured it.
The wood was dried for quite a bit were talking 15 seconds of water, and being a hardwood it merely washed it off. as for the weight I mentioned in the video that I put a weight on top
thanks for watching oh the second point is I used two different chisels one for the epoxy the round nose and the carbide for the wood mostly you get used to how much tension you use.
Were did you get the mould
