First Attempt at Casting

[louisbry]

Here are my first attempt at casting. I learned that is easy to mess up and even easier to make a mess. I think I will have to experiment at letting colors set the right amount of time to mix them before before it is too late. I used worthless spalted pecan and some burl caps. The color is sky blue and peril. After I cleaned up my mess, I have to admit it was fun. The learning curve should be fairly short though. Any advice/comments are welcome.
