Hi Dave,

Welcome on board. We actually have a new member of the team here at Easy Composites who has joined us to really concentrate on all the creative applications for resin casting, her name is Becky and she will be producing lots of video tutorials and guides for creative casting processes. I'm sure she will be happy to chip in on any questions you may have. You can see a couple of her new tutorial videos in our learning area with lots more to come (including some exciting videos using clear casting resin with wood, maybe along the lines that you're planning!).

Here's a couple of Becky's videos which she did using our Xencast polyurethane casting resins:

Rotocasting by Hand - How to Cast 3D Hollow Shapes
Cold Casting Using Metal Powders
Introduction to Silicone Mould Making and Resin Casting

Anyway, welcome to the forum and I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
