"Bubble wood" Birch wood, clear resin, carved and turned on the lathe. Wood and Resin Turning

This project started out as an attempt at recreating slot canyon debris deposits you find in the sand stone walls... then it morphed into a bubbling or boililng appearance in wood. You never know where a project will take you... :)

I basically spend my free time dreaming up ways to express my artistic side and simultanously to raise money for Operation Underground Railroad. O.U.R. funds, supports, trains and guides rescue missions for children who are in sex trafficking slavery and free them to better lives with their amazing after care program. We cannot support O.U.R. enough. (OURRESCUE.ORG)

-Angle Grinder: (amzn.to/36lgewG), one of my most indispensable tools, (amzn.to/3iXtNHW) this one has a flat head, helps get into tight spaces, carving and sanding disks are a life saver.

Pressure Pot: (amzn.to/3tfp1u2) 5 gallon for the big resin projects to get rid of bubbles, or (amzn.to/3pwX0M8) for the smaller average jobs 2.5 gallon, both need minor modifications to work.
