Woodturning - Hybrid Pedestal Bowl - Paul Howard Fluting Jig 16 - Resin inlay in Wood Bowl

Following my success with the Ash Form in the colours favoured by Tutankhamun, this project is a Hybrid Pedestal Bowl in maple with gold coloured resin.

Whilst Im not a fan of turning resin, I do like hybrid woodturning projects where the resin complements, rather than overshadows, the wood. A resin inlay in wood looks great!

I used my Paul Howard Fluting Jig with my mains electric drill mounted to drill with precision the holes in the bowl blank and pedestal base, which I filled with Alumilite resin, coloured with gold mica powder.

I've long been inspired by the numerous beautiful finds in the Tomb of King Tutankhamun, especially the death mask in that deep blue and gold, this combination of colours work very well together.

This project was not the most complex I have attempted, but was very challenging. One main issue was ingress of resin into the wood which made it difficult to obtain a uniform colour over the whole project.

Woodturning with resin is a bit challenging so I use my circular carbide cutter at about 15 degrees, this gives a clean cut.
