I've had a few people ask me to share pictures of two handles I made for someone else a few months ago. The pictures should say it all, so I won't go into any details about them other than I poured the resin and turned the handles myself. Enjoy!

That's awesome.
Looks like the Paladin LemonDrop and the Simpsons Coral colors!
Great job!

Thank you everyone!
I'm glad you decided to share these pics Dave, they're too nice not to let our fellow B&Bers have a look at. You did great on these, first rate professional work imo.

Thank you!
The sparse white swirls in the handles really sets them off for me. I don't think they'd have the same impact had the white blended in completely. Great little detail.
Dave, those are fantastic! Well done on the resin pour and the handles!
A few questions if you would:
1) Is that alumilite or a different poly resin?
2) Are you using a vacuum set up to eliminate bubbles in the resin?

Thank you!
To answer your questions, I use clear polyester resin and I do use a vacuum chamber to help minimize/eliminate bubbles.

Love the first one. No, the second one. Yeah, the second one. Then again that first one is awful nice. Maybe...... Well you get the idea. They look great.
