Woodturning - SkyBall 2 A Blue & Pearl Resin Sphere

Resin Sphere how to. I need a sphere to demo Yorkshire Grit Microfine, which works very well indeed on epoxy resin. Therefore I decided on a resin sphere for this purpose, about 6” in diameter.

I wanted a blue / white sphere to represent the sky and clouds. SkyBall 1 was a big fail as the resin turned yellow in the pressure pot.

SkyBall 2 tried to get away from by flying off the lathe but I retrained it to behave better. I used Royal Blue resin dye and some white pearl mica powder to get the cloudy sky effect.Resin sphere tutorial.

Sanded 120,180 and 240, Yorkshire Grit, Yorkshire Grit Microfine and finished with two coats of Hampshire Sheen Microcrystalline Wax

SkyBall 2 will serve its purpose but epoxy resin casting / turning is clearly not my forte and I’ll leave these large castings to others from hereon.

NEXT WEEK: Friday 3rd May 19: My homemade vertical chainsaw mill.
