How I created cascading resin water over wood!

In this video, you will see how I create this cascading resin water effect over the sides of a large wooden slab.

My first challenge was to deal with the softwood. The bark was very soft and flaky and fell off at the slightest touch. My plan was to use resin to bind the flaky wood together and make it stronger to accept the cascading resin.

Like many other projects, I start out with a basic idea of how I want it to look when finished. However, my plans can change very quickly when I see that it will not work, or I think of a better idea. You will see that I change mind my mind as we move through the video.

The next challenge was on how to create the thick resin drips. For this,​ I poured the resin onto plastic first and let it sit for about 1-2 hours. I could see that it was still tacky before transferring it to the slice.

There are quite a few things I would do differently next time, just as well, as I have three more wooden slabs to work on.
