woodturning a bowl of oak and epoxy resin

I made a bowl from oak and epoxy resin.
I drilled holes in a weathered piece of oak with a wad drill and filled them with epoxy resin.
After the epoxy resin had hardened, I turned it into a bowl and finished it with friction polish

Hi Hans, I love your design. Never thought of that. Brilliant. Not too overcomplicated by design but a very nice touch in the end result!

Thank you Frank, I'm glad you like it. This is my first time using my drill guide and I thought it would add a nice detail to the bowl

Some good tips in this one, everyone does epoxy differently 🙂 great drilling rig set up, thanks for sharing

[@hbwoodturning17]

Thank you Brett, yes everyone uses epoxy differently, it largely depends on what brand or type of epoxy is available and the tools you have.

Nice work. I like that drill guide.

Thank you. I'm glad you like it. That drill guide is a new gadget I recently got, and this is the first time I've used it

Where can I get the plastic sleeves you used for this project

Hello Steve, it is a bucket from which I sawed off the reinforcing edge. I do use release spray and have therefore been able to use it many times.
