      Not knowing anything about resin, I wonder if soaking them in the dyed stabilizing resin will make them more pliable (like soaking them in water would)

      I don’t think a bowling ball is a bad idea . a gun stock was the idea I had . how far you can imagine is your only limitations. i make beautiful wood fowls with out a wood lathe, exotic cutting boards/ butcher blocks, a excellent wood carver, knife maker , long bow maker , rye fishing flies, make fishing lures, fishing, hunting, have built a boat , outher things I seem to not remember right now. oh I forgot some of my wood working I use my own dye to stain I make with rot dye, I have the recipes for around 100 colors. if I want to earth tone say raised carving of roses I stain light enough so grain shows through. I would be glad to share my stain recipes which I also dye deer hair for fly tying. I have on hand at least 400-450 colors of deer hair. never limit your imagination, and a whole world is open to you. Nana and papa aka the hunter from the foothills of the blue ridge mountains in North Carolina wishing you well.

      She also manifested when the enterprise c travels thru a worm hole and runs into...(out of the whole entire universe) another enterprise c. Then when she figures out she died a meaningless death goes back to the past to fight and bring piece to the future federation and klingons.
      So... she's got that going for her.

    I'm not sure what heather gems are supposed to look like , but they are both beautiful. The clear is my personal favorite , I like being able to see through to the different colors.
    It's also nice to know I'm not the only person who has songs popping into my brain at random times because of their lyrics ! Off to find an Icehouse video ...

    Bark is so much easier to remove when the wood isn’t as dry. It’s interesting that you didn’t initially remove the bark and then let the branch dry.
