After how much everyone enjoyed my first brick bowl, I just had to try another. This time, I set the bricks running around the circumference of the bowl by gluing them to a wooden core before pouring in the green epoxy resin. Had a bit of a nerve-wracking moment when I began mixing the resin, as you'll see in the video. Normally, you can expect your hardener to have a slight yellow tint to it as it ages, but this was REALLY yellow. I had not no idea whether it was going to cure or just ruin all the hard work I'd already put into making the blank. It all ended well, though! After turning it down, I finished the piece with Waterlox's original gloss. What do you think?
