Hi George,

Love the mini pine cone material and colouring, looks fantastic, although I prefer the shape like the burr elm one which I also love. Think the darker resin colours look gorgeous.

Cheers, Paul

As always

Very nice quality work =D>

Another fantastic group of boxes George though I think the darker resin works the best. The mini pine cone and burr elm are my favourites.

One word, beautiful =D> =D> =D> =D>

Love the mini pine cones, that is really special.

given the wide range of wood material and resin mixes I am amazed that I like them all; even the chestnut with the white and blue!

I do however favour the curves as shown in the coolibar piece.

Thanks for sharing

quite nice george, can you do a wip on your next lot? Or at least explain how you go about it?

I found them very attractive. Do you get disasters in any quantity, meaning do they break up when turning etc. ?

Thank you for all of your comments

One of the advantages of working with resin is that it’s very stable and you don’t have any movement.

the resin is very strong and once cast won’t break easily- but if you have a catch you can do damage just like you would with a wooden box- but the material itself won’t break just thru normal turning forces.

Fantastic pots, really like the colours of the first 6 pots, not too sure of the ones that have bright white resin - just not my cup of tea. =D>

They look marvelous, I'd love to make something like that, what a great idea.
