Autumn Leaves Bowl, Resin and cedar wood base. Support O.U.R. at ArtForOUR.org

This was a fun project that involved autumn / fall leaves, clear resin and cedar wood base. I'm still trying to figure out how to keep the resin from turning leaves and flowers brown, but the end result was great anyway. Enjoy!

Here are my commonly used tools/equipment if you'd like to try them out....

- Lathe: (https://amzn.to/3orYsOy) this lathe is freaking amazing, very well built, solid, strong, variable speed, 110 or 220 volt. I couldn't have designed it better.
- Lathe tools: (https://amzn.to/3agd3ay) carbide tip, (https://amzn.to/3t5iMsA) great beginner set
- File Sander: (https://amzn.to/36o3hlE), this is the cheapest and highest quality I've found. Fantastic for those hard to get to sanding projects.
- Angle Grinder: (https://amzn.to/36lgewG), one of my most indispensable tools, (https://amzn.to/3iXtNHW) the flat head helps get into tight spaces, carving and sanding disks are a life saver.
- Grinder Carving Disk: (https://amzn.to/39oWqKG), this is a really great disk for roughing out medium sized projects
- Grinder Sanding Disks: (https://amzn.to/3cj91Rv), fantastic for sanding and minor-moderate shaping stages
- Round Sanding System: (https://amzn.to/3r11N8Q) sleeves go around an inflatable ball (https://amzn.to/2KVCUvW )or make your own foam ball, attaches to a drill, great for tight corners.
- Palm Sander: (https://amzn.to/3r1mJg8), the most important sanding tool, used on almost every job. I like the size of the sand paper for both this and on the lathe by hand.
- Chain Saw: (https://amzn.to/2MbWNj2), has worked well for years, I also bought this electric one (https://amzn.to/3qZOqpp) for the quieter in the garage projects
- Oscillating Tool: (https://amzn.to/3puK4q1) great for cutting and sanding sharp corners and tight spots.
- Super Glue: (https://amzn.to/3pFg5vT) thin and runny, perfect for stabilizing bark or other unstable wood.
- Resin: (https://amzn.to/3t7WSVo), one of the cheaper but higher quality, does it all resins. Great results.
- Pigments: https://amzn.to/3sYC5ng, great quality for resin
- Pressure Pot: (https://amzn.to/3tfp1u2) 5 gallon for the big resin projects to get rid of bubbles, or (https://amzn.to/3pwX0M8) for the smaller average jobs 2.5 gallon, both need minor modifications to work.
- Protection: (https://amzn.to/39t3lm0), best face shield yet for carving and lathe work T

My goal is to pair my love for medicine/surgery, video, art and wood projects with my campaign to raise awareness for Operation Underground Railroad (OURRESCUE.ORG), an amazing group fighting child sex trafficking around the world. I dabble in wood turning on the lathe, carving, painting with acrylics using pendulum and pouring techniques as well as different video projects I find interesting.
