Tried my hand at some resin work

[fiatslug87]

Made a charcuterie board and five coasters out of Pyrat Rum hang tags. One tag comes with each bottle (don’t judge ) the center piece is from their Cask 1623.

Also my neighbor made me a board with a piece of pine and copper flake.

Interesting use of resins. Is that a cutting board then or just a board? 

[fiatslug87]

More of a serving board, I think the epoxy would score, it is food safe epoxy.

Most epoxies are "food safe" in the sense that you won't get sick from eating off of them, but with a cutting board you'd get lots of small nicks and scratches that will almost certainly be little bacteria caves.  Also, with as fast as epoxies dulls shaping tools, I bet it's hell on kitchen knives.

Made a serving platter out of a pine stump I found, about 18 1/2” diameter, 1 1/2” thick. Filled the cracks/checks with black epoxy then stained, covered with clear epoxy and placed on a lazy suzan base.

 

Flattened using a home made jig.

Made another serving tray, this time for my sister in law’s 60th birthday. I added a spiral of pennies from each year she’s been alive from 1966 to present, however, since 2026 pennies were not minted I added a flattened “dragon” penny since it’s the year of the dragon.

Very cool!

She'll love it. Not sure about posting her age online . Was it easy to find them pennies by the year?

Just a little time consuming sorting through my 20 pounds of pennies. Some years are more difficult to find due to their relatively low minting quantity, luckily I didn’t need 1965.

Nice work!

Great tool for rolling coins.
