DIY Pine Cone And Resin Scale / Blank
Making two set of stabilized pine cone and resing.
It's a pretty common blank, I've seen it used many time as handles or turned for pens and so on. Wanted to try and make it myself because I really like how it looks and now with the vacuum chamber and pressure pot that I built in previous video I have all tools necesarry to hopefully make it work. With the second set I did a better job at centering the pine cones and I also like better the contrast of orange and purple dye. With the first one I notices some tiny bubbles still present near the center of the pine cone so with the other one I tried to degass the whole assembly with the vacuum pump before the resin had a chance to thicken up and then I place it to cure under pressure. But, as I have already notice in another video while making micarca, that had very little effect to the end result and I still had a couple of tiny holes in the center.

Index of operation and materials:
0:15 Drying pine cones with pid controlled oven. 12 hours at 120°C (248°F)
0:27 Taking pine cones out of the oven before it cools down and placing it inside a sealed container so it does not absorb moisture
0:40 After the pine cones are cool completely covering in stabilizing resin
0:55 Slowly raising vacuum to prevent excessive bubbling
1:12 Taking to maximum vaccum and holding it for 4 hours or untill bubble stop rising
1:22 Slowly releasing vacuum then leave to soak inside the stabilizing resin overnight (12 hours)
1:45 Packing each piece individually in aluminum foil
2:06 Lefover resin can be collected and used over and over
2:24 Curing resin (stabilizing resin activates with heat) 2 hours at 95°C (203°F)
3:10 Removing excess resin
3:30 Grinding a flat side on the pine cones
3:45 Silicone mold and 3d printed petg holder box
4:00 Mixing epoxy resin (following manufacturer instructions)
4:14 Adding few drops of resin dyes
4:54 Mixing two glass of different color resin
5:20 Pouring one color on each side
5:33 Stick to hold pine cones down
5:41 Resing left to cure overnight under pressure to mitigate bubbles
6:37 Cutting eccess pine cone on band saw
7:05 Squaring up the blank to mark a precise center line
7:37 Cutting the blank in half to use it as scales in full tang
8:07 Sanding flat sides with sandpaper on a piece of flat glass
8:33 Sanded up to 320 grint and applied a clear coat to simulate mirror finish
9:26 Can be used matt if not buffed to a mirror finish

I found the silicone mold searching for soap and bread mold.
The one I bought are 16.5x7.5 cm (6.5x2.9 in) but I find them to be a bit short now that I've used them for some blanks.
The one I linked are 24.6x7 cm (9.7x2.8 in) and come with a wooden box ready to use so you don't have make one (or 3d print) like I did. But I haven't tried that one out so I can't guarantee for quality. Find one that fits your needs!
I bought the stabilizing resin here:

I don't have any affiliation with brisa.fi but they offer a nice and fast service. Highly suggested for Europe supply.
Thanks a lot for watching, I hope you liked the video!
