Cook Woodworks

I recently moved, and there was a big stack of firewood left at the house. I thought it would be cool to take some of the wood, cast it in epoxy resin, and try to woodturn it into something cool. This project took a lot of work, but I like the idea of making something out of wood that someone else thought was only fit to burn.

I've had these scrap pieces of wood sitting around for a while, so I cast them in epoxy resin and turned them into a pretty cool looking vase. Orange you glad I didn't make it blue?

This woodturning project has been a long time in the works. Last December, fall finally hit San Diego, so I collected some leaves to see if I could make something cool out of them. I cast the leaves in epoxy resin in a mold and then started to turn a bowl. Unfortunately the leaves would peel away from the resin as I turned, and I ended up with a broken tenon. I finally got around to fixing that and finished the bowl. It wasn't an easy woodwoorking project in the end, but the final result was worth it.

This woodturning project was a little different. I thought it would be cool to make some shapes out of Razzo and then cast them in resin and make a bowl. I wasn't quite sure how it would turn out, but it looks a bit like abstract art to me.

I've been on a mission to woodturn a square bowl, but I'm still not totally happy with the results. The proportions of this bowl are just a little off, so it doesn't quite have the look I'm was looking for. That said, it's always fun to turn a log into something cool, and I still like the way this bowl turned out.
