Well that worked out really well. It always amazes me how the colour black makes a piece pop. Great job

[@CASWoodcraft]

I was a little surprised, too. I use black on tables and charcuterie boards but not usually on bowls.

[@JamesCouch777]

​@@CASWoodcraftI use a lot of resin with coffee grounds on my bowls. I love the color it produces.

[@Ramona57-TX]

Wow, that truly is Black Gold, impressive piece for sure.

[@dtork47]

Very nicely done. In my experience manzanita root burl is very hard! The black resin and gold flake a great combination. Can’t wait to get back to some m root I have. Stay safe

[@athenaweber4517]

Oh my god! It’s stunning! It turned out exactly how I thought it would! Your work is amazing!

[@CASWoodcraft]

Thank you so much!

[@dalekuhlman1009]

I believe that is way beyond beautiful. One of your best, keep on doing what you do.

[@CASWoodcraft]

Thank you! Will do!

[@Outrider-RT]

Thank you for the “trick” with the two glued shells for the filling. Simple, simple, clever
...and nice work!

Beautiful!

[@CASWoodcraft]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@WoodworkingTop535]

So creative, I like your passion

[@jamiemcdonald4279]

This is incredible. I thought you were going to make a lid when you parted that first cut off the top.

[@WahlDesigns]

Very beautiful

[@lyndaowen2154]

pretty!!

[@Congnghehay-6295]

This is one of the best videos I've ever seen! The part at 7:44 is fascinating. We have some exciting content too-would love to hear what you think! 😄🤗

[@Crafty845]

Wow…wow 😘

[@CASWoodcraft]

thanks!

[@DaveTerpstra]

The contours in the burl are amazing. Just wanna stare at them all day. The piece came together nicely!!

[@CASWoodcraft]

thanks!

[@EdwardGodwin-f2p]

I like it. But I like voice insted of just turning and hollowing.

[@Reziac]

Wow. That is just bloody astonishing, inside and out. Bravo!!
And now I'm wondering what effect might result from using all those multicolored shavings in clear epoxy. Same colors but transparent base material. And that flat piece cut off the end might make a nice matching plate (or lid).

[@CASWoodcraft]

Thanks. I've done a few pieces with wood shavings in clear resin, but haven't been super excited about the results yet.

[@Reziac]

@@CASWoodcraft Might need a different ratio than the obvious. Or need to be way thinner. I don't know, just tossing ideas!

[@DinoPezzani]

Molto molto bello 👍

[@andy-aam21]

Curious something that size and that much resin, how long it was in the pressure pot?

[@ralphgraler4223]

Looking great... probably better in transparent... but it looks real great!!! 🎩👍👍🇩🇪

[@Володимир-ы4ъ5о]

Нет ничего красивей нежели естественный рисунок древисины. Тем более этого.

[@joelbernard5453]

This is nice, but I think you might have turned off more of the outside resin to get a larger proportion of exposed wood grain. The burl exposure inside the bowl shows more possibilities.

[@CASWoodcraft]

you might be right!

[@jamesabbe-m3h]

Where do.i order the gold material

[@michacolumbus]

What about the shredded gold leaves?

[@АлександрЧудаков-с6н]

Очень красиво!
Но почему не сделал крышку? Ведь остался кусок....
