Popular Post Charlie E Posted May 28, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 28, 2023 (edited) After two failed attempts at pouring resin, I cut this for the third time. This time in red oak. I opted to put a plexiglass cover on it rather than attempting another resin pour. It is a gift for my 5 year old grandson who has become a Star Wars fanatic. He watches with his dad, my son, who knows where the scary parts are and my sweet grandson covers up his eye till daddy says it's over. I love listening to him talk about Star Wars. He pronounces Luke, Wute, and he really likes The Umpire Strikes Back. Thanks to everyone who gave me advice about the resin pouring. Maybe I'll try again sometime. Maybe not.

TAIrving Posted May 28, 2023 Report Share Posted May 28, 2023 Looks great Charlie! I am impressed that you cut it 3 times. And the plexiglass cover looks good. Red Oak and epoxy are NOT a pairing made in heaven. You have to seal ALL the cut edges of the red oak before pouring. I hope you do not give up on epoxy. Having made a couple of mistakes, you are well on your way to learning the craft. MarieC, heppnerguy and Charlie E 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how you did the green and red for the lightsaber colors. Great work Thanks! I had to consult my son about the right colors. I gave it to Amos this morning. He loved it and explained it is from Star Wars 3/Return of the Jedi because that's when Luke's lightsaber color changes from blue to green and because of how the Death Star looks.

wombatie Posted May 29, 2023 Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 That is fabulous and I love the fact that you colored the light sabres, or like my grandson used to say when he was a lot younger, light savers. Your grandson will love it. I purchased 3 Star Wars patterns, one says that it something to do with Yoda but I can't for the life of me understand what but I love the pattern, so who cares.
