Hi George,

The combination of colour on this is really beautiful indeed, this is my new favourite.

I particularly like the design of this box and the beading around the join is very delicate and well balanced.

I have no criticism of this piece whatsoever other than to say that I'm sorry it's in your posession and not mine! :mrgreen: :lol: :mrgreen:

Nice work,

Lee.

I really like this one!! The difference is the colour I guess, the blue one seemed to fight whereas this one compliments.

Lovely.

hi there, as per the rest of the comments, lovely work especially the second yew form at the top of the thread, gorgeous! =D>

This half resin, half burr box, great use and juxtaposition of old and new materials. how is this done? is a piece of timber simply cast into a resin and then turned as if it were wood, using the same tools, and is this the same polyester resin used in fiberglassing? sorry for all the question but i am intrigued. :?
once again, lovely work
cheers

I think the half and half is fantastic, a really interesting idea and you have turned it into something stunning.
Your finishing is spot on.

Thank you

Nev:I dont make the material and i dont understand the full process of the casting- but the blanks turn just like a normal blank does.

A few more Amalgam mutt box's

A few new pens

Haven't been busy then?

They are growing on me now I must admit. I have always like the shapes you achieve but somehow the material didn't appeal to my traditional mindset.

Maybe the old grey cells are quite as atrophied as I thought.

Hi G,

WOW, what can I say? Such a vast array of work in one post, lots to take in and digest.

I'm a big fan of your direction at the moment and these pieces are capturing this.

I will come back and browse for my favs and let you know my thoughts.

Beautiful forms and finish as usual, what a talent.

Cheers,

Lee.

Brilliant work George. I love the blue resin and burr. Looks like the meeting of land and sea. Reminds me of the African coast.

Absolutely spot on!

IMHO, like red wine, some are better than others, but the quality of work is stunning.
