Opal, Wood and Resin Pendant - Ultimate Secret Wood Type Jewellery Tutorial

In this class you will learn how to make a stunning Opal, wood and resin pendant. These pendants look like a miniature landscape with Aurora Borealis dancing in the sky! Whether you call them "secret wood pendants" or "Aurora Borealis necklaces" they are super fun to make.

Everything from the tools, materials and polishing techniques will be covered. This project has a bit of everything for beginners in woodworking, resin crafts and jewellery making. You won't need a workshop full of tools and you can make resin pendants like these with basic had tools (though power tools certainly help!).
