Pine Cone and Resin Bowl Shootout - Stabilized VS Non-Stabilized Pinecones!

[@ZacHiggins]

Awesome experiment Jake!! I've been really looking forward to this one. Can't wait to see the long term results too. Thanks for the shoutout brother!! I appreciate it!

[@ZacHiggins]

They both turned out awesome too!! Excellent work!

[@JakeThompson]

Thanks Zac.. it was a fun experiment and I can already feel movement in the nonstabilized ones.. pretty good idea to do these side by side. 👍👍

Live the orange and brown one!

[@JakeThompson]

Thank you Dotty 😀😀

[@DickVaughan-t6k]

Thanks very much. Your explanation of stabalized vs. not stabalized and gives me more confidence to try again after my first experiment using pine cones and not drying them at all. I just got a foamy mess of bubbles at the center of the form and now understand why.

[@JakeThompson]

Very welcome.. glad I could help 😀

Realy nice and cool with the pinecones in resin. I casted one yesterday and i hope i get time to turn it today. It depends on my fiance if she allow me to have some sparetime. hehe Just kidding, she loves to be in the shop with me and she do all the mixing of resin and colours. :) Greetings from Hans Olav and Moo

[@JakeThompson]

Awesome!! Have fun Hans.

Thanks Matt!!😁😁😜

[@mwills802]

Great video!!

[@JakeThompson]

Thank you👍👍

[@MarklTucson]

Those both are very cool looking. Will be interested in how they are after a month of setting in the atmosphere. Definitely going to look into getting the stabilizing equipment in the future. Heck of a rabbit hole this resin stuff is turning into.

[@JakeThompson]

Lol yeah.. a rabbit hole for sure.. but the things we can make are pretty cool! 👍👍

[@THEAPRILFOOL-1983]

Nice

[@JakeThompson]

👍👍

[@tompuskar4426]

I did something similar using sweet gum pods. Definitely needs stabilization in my opinion.

[@JakeThompson]

Awesome.. it was way better

[@avelkm]

I usually have no problems turning non-stabilized pine cones in a pen blanks, may be because of more careful turning of small piece? Will experiment with stabilizing myself, have everything to do it

[@JakeThompson]

👍👍👍

[@pjenslin1]

Beautiful bowls! Please excuse this dumb question, but are those wood bases on the bowls? Where they come from? I do not see them attached to the bowls at the start of the video. If it is wood, how do you attach them to the resin?

[@JakeThompson]

Thank you. We make the blanks on a live show that we do every Saturday. The wood in these is Stabilized maple burl.

[@PhilHerndon]

What is the limit of reusing Cactus Juice?

[@JakeThompson]

I just use it until it’s all gone.. if I done stabilize in about 8 months or so after it’s mixed.. I replace it.

[@johnkester5926]

Don't you think you should wear a respirator for the resin dust?

[@JakeThompson]

Click this 1:40 I purposely put in me wearing a respirator for the safety police out there. 😂
