#20 Inlaid Resin Olive Wood

This is a very simple pour into the naturally occurring holes in olive wood, but the effect is stunning.
And yes, I did a bad thing by not wearing gloves - DO NOT BE LIKE ME - I knew it would be a quick and clean pour and I have large hands and, due to a shortage, could only find medium size and they hurt!!! So, yes, I was naughty. No need to scold me in the comments!!

Woah looks really good! you know i want to try the using resin to do things, but... my country is so hard to get the things(stupid people and they votes for get all free and get us a trouble), i wish someday i can do something like that, looks really good, i really loved it and more the colour you used on the resin, i think a lot of things can be apply that colour...

The idea of mixing the olive wood with the glossy resin is very attractive. Now I was wondering about putting food on the resin? I know they make other food vessels( cups) with a resin shell, but cutting into the resin might be a problem.
Any thoughts on that?

I use a food-safe resin and once the resin has fully cured (about 2 weeks) it is fine for food. I would never put anything but cold food on it though, as heating the resin causes it to start gassing again.

Where did you purchase the olive wood?

Homesense.

Once you run it through a planner how do you make it gloss again

I rubbed it down with cutting board oil that I purchased on Amazon.
