Casting a cone

[TimR]

i thought about this after reading a recent thread, http://woodbarter.com/threads/attention-casters.22315/#post-279978, and here's some progress pics, should be self explanatory but if details needed, ask on.
Hope to turn it soon.

I do. This one got kinda tricky...I underestimated amount of material needed by 100%, so you can see the line from my second fill. I didn't want it to potentially bubble/foam on me without being under pressure, so I stuck in pressure pot, mixed a quick batch, opened the pot up and began the second pour. It started bubbling on me a little on the top side, but I think it will turn away. Rest of the bubbles hopefully got squeezed down when I stuck it back in the pot.
