I finally got home ( that's a story worth it's own thread) and tried some of the smaller Cholla from Nubsnstubs in resin for a handle for a tool I bought at SWAT. I have limited access to resin where I live and I was disappointed with this, but it is a functional tool, not an art piece. Surprisingly it feels good in the hand, only regret is I only have one more piece this size. Yeah Jerry, I should have listened to you.
Rgds,

Looks good. Much better than my first attempt at resin filled cholla. I had a bunch of voids in the cavities.

Most important thing is function! Congrats on your first resin adventure. Sets the stage for future successes. Chuck

I agree with Steven, it looks pretty darn good to me, mate. No one else in Oz will have a handle like that.

But those aussie acacias instead.

Pretty good work there. I'm not quite sure why you are disappointed. I wouldn't be.

I want to say something like "That's bonzer, mate, she'll be right! No worries, she's a beaut!" But I suspect you'd think I was an idiot, so I will just say that that looks quite nice.
 
May not be exactly what you envisioned, but it will sit on your bench for you to see, use and remind you of Jerry and your time with him every day you are in the shop. For that alone it is priceless!
