How to make samurai warriors diorama / epoxy resin

How to make a diorama of samurai warriors woodturning using negative space art into a resin bowl. This video looks at how to turn wood using epoxy resin and mahogany wooden blocks and the resin pour is with red alcohol ink and black mica powder.

Woodturning resin river diorama can be done uisng a variety of art forms, silhouette, stencil art, negative space and setting the pieces into epoxy resin. Always use a pressure pot when resin casting for a bubble free project! Or seal the wood before using a deep pour resin without a pressure pot. Be wary of wide images and the curvature of your resin mold. One of the samurai (侍) had to be cut and the sword arm repositioned. It could be avoided if using thicker pieces of wood and rounding the piece to fit the resin mold.

Using a modified central column will help remove unwanted trapped air bubbles in the resin; of course the inital resin pour must be slow. Always check that the alcohol ink is stable in the epoxy resin before pouring. I have tried a couple of alcohol ink colours that have changed colour or simply fallen out of solution. I prefer carbide cutters on the lathe for woodturning a resin bowl, though others have used traditional woodturning tools with great success.

Images are based on work by artist bijid007 (logoground) and Arak Rattanawijittakorn (shutterstock). Hopefully this resin bowl captures the way of the samurai in different poses that the artists intended (武士道).
