I never get tired of seeing other folk's castings. They give me ideas on my own attempts at it. I still have to get more alumilite to try casting the pine cones in and I have a large enough blanks that I can cast a bottle stopper with and put a small pine cone in the mix. It should come out ok I hope. I saw some you tube vids on it and they came out real nice. Tonight I will watch the Capt' Crunch casting vid just to see how it was done. I might come up with some other ideas too. Keep on posting your blanks. I enjoy looking at them and I'm in hopes mine come out as nice as yours... Fay
