Cheers! And thank you for stopping by! This piece a jewel of nastiness every step of the way. Given how rotten the burl was, it required thin epoxy with an extended curing time in order to fill all of the gaps and saturate the wood. However, the longer the curing process, the greater the risk of losing color separation in the resin. I found this out the hard way after hoping for more distinct purples and golds in this one. The inside of the vase is not spectacular and rather rough, but it was necessary to leave some wall thickness given the fragility of the wood. I expect this piece is fairly sturdy, given all the stabilization that it needed. Anyway, life is a learning process, and nothing is perfect. But this piece will hopefully find a comfy spot in someone's home. Thank you again for watching!
