[@krisreynolds6171]

Black one was awesome

[@ewanp]

I thought I was going to choose the black sphere but the waste paper in the clear one looks great. So clear one for me. That a lot of waste epoxy when turning!

[@jamesdurwoodchance]

What got you interested into wood/epoxy turning?

[@DeaconXPS]

These are amazing! Have you considered making a custom bocce ball set?

[@phoebedavies4383]

I like the clear one but it was not really clear, I loved the way the colours were showing up and how some of the paper rolls were spreading out and making a pattern. An idea might be to do colours in the rolls and real clear around them that might be interesting, which ever way it's still fun to see how they turn out.❤

[@rbuschy]

Clear gets my vote - if you do it again consider keeping resin inside the tubes transparent as well. I think more/smaller tubes with transparent internal resin would be very interesting

[@baddawg3380]

I was thinking the same thing, maybe just the clear resin on the whole thing. I think adding the shavings and the color resin just makes it to busy. But that's just me.

[@amp69e]

The clear one gets my vote.

[@bjrn-oskarrnning2740]

Or use clear acrylic rods or something for ease of rolling and to keep them perfectly circular :)

[@donnaboyle669]

I’m with you, definitely clear.

[@coffeezombie6032]

Ooh I like the idea of many smaller tubes!

[@JemHadar666]

For me, the black one is the nicest. Also, the fact that there are light swirls in the black, adds to the coolness. Nice work Ben!

[@louisgridleywu7075]

Both look amazing, almost like TMNT masks. Well done Ben and Nicole

[@marialeotta2973]

I came here to say that exact thing re: TMNT masks! 😂

[@Merennulli]

I was thinking the same, heh.

[@bex6767]

Same

[@aprilnewcastle]

Came here to say this too😂

[@bign8609]

I was thinking that as well. If he was to do it again he could use colours that would represent it and make a TMNT themed one 😊

[@Majesticwolfie]

Oh Ben those are awesome! I love how the black one looks like mask with eyes! 😲 the clear reminds me of a confetti snow globe! If I had to pick my favorite one….hmmm 🤔🤔 it be the confetti bomb snow globe one! I love the colors and confetti look

[@GirlOnFire1990]

I honestly thought the clear was going to be my favorite, but when you showed the black one, it was absolutely stunning! You are an amazing craftsman, Ben! Well done!!

[@penelopem2468]

My daughter and I love the black one! Keep up the good work!

[@shannonreynolds8182]

My favorite is the black one. I absolutely LOVE watching your videos and so does my 6 year old daughter who's autistic. We LOVE your work and your videos are SOOOO relaxing!!!!

[@_goatlady_]

I would be more than happy with either one - they are both beautiful.

[@fattdamon5342]

Dag, they both look so cool. I like the black because of how simple and clean it is, but the clear is wild. Nicely done!

[@atacstringer8573]

That black one is absolutely beautiful mesmerizing

[@kristajones7202]

Black resin is my favorite of this batch! I'd love to see clear resin with no add-ins, but paring down the outside of the tubes first show more colors. That way when you look into the sphere, you see more texture and dimension.

[@candymatek3]

We ❤❤❤❤ the clear one, so much more interesting. Love seeing Nicole helping you.

[@kraiggoodwin3413]

The spheres look amazing!! You wouldn't think something so cool started out as simple sheets of paper!!

[@Arlecchino_Gatto]

Usually I don't care much for micarta but I LOVE that!!!! It is like candy and magic and smiles all rolled together.

[@ellishansen8115]

Another 2 masterpieces. I like the clear one better because of all the extra added color. It reminds me a bit of a kaleidoscope. The black is also very striking. Great work Ben, and Ben's assistant (Nicole)!!

[@Lisa-lb7de]

All your projects are great. Usually I like the black resin better but this time clear is the winner!

[@dianamcdonald4964]

Both spheres are fantastic! The black sphere may be interesting with the center’s colored. The clear sphere has my vote.

[@knotyourhandle]

I wish nothing but the best for you and your wife through your journey on KZbin and resin art. Really neat and eclectic pieces plus kids are on KZbin all the time. Giving them ideas and inspo for positive outlets

[@jamesradney5560]

Wow! Both turned out amazing no pun intended lol! I love how the clear one came out with the tubes filled with the color, but honestly that black one is hands down my favorite one, just the way the black made all the colors pop is is just beautiful! Amazing work as always and I can't wait to see what you make next!

[@Sirtigereg]

Another amazing show of your art, amazing❤❤❤

[@synicyst9925]

Your work is amazing and inspirational. I thought adding the bits to the clear one would make it too busy, but it turned into a lovely bright cheerful object.

[@bevholdsworth5924]

Black gets my vote. When you set it down it looked all the world like a laughing duck!!! Both are amazing.

[@lindahobbs5545]

Those are amazing! They are both cool, but I like the clear one best. You amaze me with your ideas!

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Linda 😊

[@texanasimmons1761]

My vote for favourite is the clear one. It has more colour I think, the little bits add to its character, I think. Thanks, Ben!❤

[@terrym3543]

Both spheres are beautiful Ben. But personally the black one is my favorite. It sort of reminds me of tribal art.

[@timalbertson4004]

I would like you to do them again, but with a dirty poor in each of the tubes. Then add the shavings like you did with the clear sphere please 🙏 🎉

[@i5will_games]

Its the black one all the way for me! 😍 The endless void gives it an elegance and mystery that it just mesmerizing. ANOTHER amazing vidso Ben, thank you. Your videos are what keeps me going through the week and gives me reason to wake up saturday morning. 💙💜💛💚💙❤

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Julie-Ann 😊

[@saikoutheguardian]

Okay, I love the look of the layers towards where the middle of the tubes shows! It looks like someone just sketched a version of peacock feathers. Black looks crisp, neat, and relatively uniform. Clear, on the other hand, gets my vote. It's colorful, it's wild, AND you get that nice solid-colored resin in different colors on the interior of each tube that also looks great on black, but is more pronounced since the rest of the resin is clear! Both are absolutely gorgeous.

[@Digikidthevoiceofreason]

Clear looks way better imho. Looks like you put a bunch of super hero masks in them. 😂 An idea….make bowling balls. 5 and 10 pin versions. 😂

[@tonyanaylor2368]

WOW! The sky is the limit with these, but I surprised myself and have to VOTE CLEAR... The black one pops so well, and the pearl/metallic is absolutely gorgeous!! 🤩 But the depth and colors of the clear one are even more mind-blowing!! 😍 Very well done all-round! 🔥🔥🤘🤘

[@TxStang]

they look like little smiling alien heads so awesome !

[@GalacticGoddess46]

Black just slightly edges out clear for me on this one Been. The juxtaposition of the cooked tunes against the black is just stunning. The clear is also beautiful with such depth of colour. This was a brilliant idea!

[@jenniferwestphal-leath7866]

I LOVE the clear one! It’s so festive! I would love to see a sphere with just the shavings in clear. I bet that would look amazing!

[@capodo]

If I had millions... I'd be broke because I'd buy everything you make. I'm happy to own several pieces already, I must say! Black is my favorite color so that's my sphere choice!

[@robjchristopher]

The black definitely gets my vote - I prefer the cleaner, minimalist look. Having said that, they are both amazing!

[@Mu-podcast]

They're both beautiful. Sometimes they look like masks, and other times they look like an artist rendition of Mothra's wings. That makes me smile.

[@ralo4304]

I really thought I'd like the clear better, but black gets my vote. I love the swirls and of course the blue and orange together ❤

[@UnbirthdayHatter]

For sure the black one is my favorite, the clear is super facinating but the black one has such a stark contrast I love it.

[@jeffmoore78]

Black all the way. That thing is gorgeous.

[@carlyb09]

My vote goes to the black one. The colours of the paper pop so much more.

[@starlightlion8603]

they're both very pretty but I absolutely adore the black resin one - really makes the paper colours pop out very strong!

[@lynn7049]

I love the clear one, but I especially love the paper chunks in the clear areas.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Lynn 😊

[@UnveiledRacer48]

I love the clear one! The shavings inside made it more interesting.

[@nairocamilo]

You weren't kidding with açç the promotion through out the week! So satisfying to watch

[@Ms.Cats-if.you.please]

The black one is cool, but the clear is awesome!! Clear gets my vote is the best one! ♥️♥️♥️

[@dustinallenphoto]

Both are very cool, but the black is my vote! ⚫️ Well worth the hype!!

[@jonna-licatrini1164]

I will admit when I read the title. I had no idea what micarta was. I watched it because I never miss an episode from you. Seeing the sphere the mathgeek and me loves the infinity sign. The way the tubes transformed into that blew my mind.

[@VickiAndersonwoodturning]

Black one get my vote. Both are really cool.

[@douglaswinze699]

I enjoy your videos especially when you have Nicole help you on your projects

[@Leena79]

Both are amazing, but for me, the clear is the winner - just because it's such an explosion of colour.

[@imrevcritter]

Really awesome!! The black is very cool, but the clear is the winner for me!!

[@lauramacdonald158]

The black one is my favorite but I absolutely love them both. Wonderful use of paper. :)

[@mintycactus1152]

Both are beautiful imo but the black one is my choice! Wonderful pieces of art!

[@JB3779MC]

The black one is my favorite. It looks like a really cool 8-ball in pool.

[@Grouchy_Hermit]

The Black one is cool but the rainbow one is wild. Rainbow for me. Great job.

[@sandraatkinson8855]

They both are absolutely Beautiful. The black one with it's clean lines is amazing, but the Clear one with the madness of color is just over the moon for me. So the clear one is my favorite! Great job on these spheres Ben!

[@charanderson]

Clear is the winner. The confetti bit make it.

[@tiffanyblunt21]

I love the clear sphere!! With all the shavings in it, it looks like all the eyes of the galaxy are watching you. Very cool indeed!!

[@bamereg]

Wow, they're beautiful! I genuinely like both. The black one is elegant and the colours really pop while the clear sphere looks so festive with the colourful shavings. What I like in both of them is that you can see how the paper was rolled up. Great job Ben!

[@birgittavanderschans2364]

They both turned out awesome. But my vote is for the black one. I love how the colors pop😊

[@Danny.._]

they both look really good, but the clear with the shavings and the colorfully filled centers is really something special

[@julianguy3203]

Both look amazing in their own rights. I'm thinking that a metallic chrome effect resin would be unbelievably good. Thanks for your creativity and effort in making these videos. I love to watch them and chill out.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate, yeah that would look cool 😊

[@Cronin149]

My favourite is the clear one. Adding the scraps was genius.

[@ShpaJoker]

This is 100% two grand slam home runs! The black is amazing but if I had to choose one I'd go with the clear for sure!

[@rickachay25]

Dark is definitely my favourite. Looks like a giant marble.

[@jennay1122]

The clear one is my favorite, just because of the colorful little shavings in it. But the glittery swirl in the black is top notch

[@drd20]

I think the tubes themselves would make really cool bud vases (the vases where you stick a stem or two of flowers in) for your shop! Especially if you could find a clear glass vial that fit inside them! The colors and that wood grain-like texture are really fun and funky!

[@amygamez1791]

Wow, both are really cool! I thought I was going to like the clear one best, but I actually really like the black one. It's so clear, and the colors just pop.

[@VlogAllAboutIt]

OMG! I absolutely 💯 love ❤️ the clear one! 😍

[@karacoop]

That’s a tough choice! They’re both really cool and have really awesome details about them. As much as I love the way the resin scraps turned out in the clear resin I think black gets my vote. I like how the colors pop against the black! Thanks for sharing another amazing video with us Ben!

[@jaspergoesrawrr]

Definitely the clear. The rainbow shavings look great!

[@marialeotta2973]

I'm definitely team black sphere, no contest! They look so satisfying to hold!

[@Jedieli29]

They both look incredible but I think I have to vote black, black is my favorite color

[@Teullulla]

They both came out so interesting and beautiful. But I Love how the clear one came out the most. The depth and color to it just added that little bit extra. Great job Ben!

[@emilbarberena9296]

I felt like the black one would look awesome at first, but then seeing the clear one, no doubt the clear one is the winner

[@danduntz2539]

Black was my favorite, but then the clear one was displayed and it’s phenomenal! It just has that extra something, that elevates it. Very nice project!

[@waynewood6317]

Clear one gets my vote. Both are amazing but clear one is over the top. Great work.

[@frankfowler8295]

I like the black better. The colors really pop with the black. Nice job Ben.

[@adamneko]

Between the two spheres, the clear one is far more colorful and I just love how the colors turned out with the chips in it.

[@ArthurGostick]

The black one is cool but the clear one is absolutely wild!

[@p-geluk]

The contrast with the black resin is awesome.

[@DREW8990]

Awesome video, Ben! Future Project Idea: Take some fluids and wax from a lava lamp, enclose it in a cubed container, cast it all in resin, and turn it on the lathe into a sphere.

[@MrMikeyt65]

I honestly can't choose,but since I must I'll go with clear In my humble opinion it's much more vivid and bright. Great job as always Ben.

[@mrsteadog1313]

They're both beauties... but the luster in the black makes me happiest. 😂

[@kohncreations7342]

Clear for sure!!! My hubby loves the dragon egg I bought for him for Father’s Day. Can’t wait to get more!

[@PatSears-d1z]

Most definitely the black one!!!! Nice one Mate!!

[@matthewduran7059]

Clear! I think if the inside of the clear was clear resin or the same confetti resin it would be a great design. Another fun video!

[@QueenQuill]

Both spheres are beautiful, but I particularly appreciate the funky colors and patterns of the clear sphere!

[@pinkyhappyfuntime1623]

I think the clear is my favorite!! There's certain charm to it that makes me feel like a kid again for some reason! I love the little color chips you added as well!

[@Rich77UK]

I honestly thought it was black all the way...BUT, that clear one really stole the show for me. Amazingly cool. Well done Ben. Great video as always.

[@tinytim9507]

They’re both awesome in their own way but the black one is my favorite.

[@Bambi122701]

The black one is amazing! I love how all the different layers show through so well.

[@SandyDiVa]

Oh definitely the clear one! It reminds me of a jawbreaker you would find in one of Wonka’s workshops! Absolutely beautiful! Well done! I hope you continue to use this technique, it’s gorgeous! The black one is just as beautiful, though!

[@firefoxx41]

The black one has my vote, it looks fantastic

[@TodRees]

The clear has the most happening for me. Love the way all the colors just seem to pop. Great job

[@adriandennis3283]

They both look incredible and my vote is the black sphere.

[@paintcandan5972]

gotta vote for clear, the shavings are my favorite part! i feel like resin soaked micarta has limitless creative potential, i can’t wait to see what you think of using it for next.

[@deliriousdemons0119]

Gotta say the clear one is my fav, the added lil specks is just amazing

[@katrinthorsdottir7514]

Both are beautiful, but I gotta say the clear one is by far my favorite. I would love to see a bowling ball like that… would be so cool!
