First resin fill

[jeweler53]

I had this gorgeous hunk of olive. It had a huge crack in the center and the crack is lined with bark. I already did a small bowl from a similar piece, and really did not want to duplicate it so I wondered what it would look like if I filled it with Turquoise. It is about 2 1/2" Dia. and 2" tall. I am thinking about making a pocket watch.

I stabilized it with Cactus Juice first to make sure the pores in the bark were filled, and finished with Alumilite white with a touch of blue.

Maybe next some pen blanks with the same materials!

Comments and criticisms welcome!

Nice! It would make some interesting pendants also.

Wow! That is amazing looking.
I'm glad you didn't toss the wood. The spalting and swirling is just incredible.
