Pouring resin on mesquite can be a real PITA.

 This was no exception. One can never predict which holes/cavities have a bottom and which ones need a dam. To fill with colored resin, the entire bottom if the piece was taped. I still had leaks. Probably more got away than filled the holes. At any rate, the holes were filled. Then two coats of clear finished it. A messy and time eating process.

Here's how it came out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was all worth it.  It is beautiful.

 Most excellent Gene  The color and grain complimented by the color fill gives the bench an amazing look of warmth. You both should be proud of that piece.

Now that is just too cool! Way to go, Gene...nicely done!

What everyone else said +1!  Gorgeous!

Yeah, Gene.  You screwed up.

 

And done REAL good!

 

My favorite wood and you did it proud.

You are much more daring than me. You done good with a couple ++. I use epoxy to fill some voids in turnings and it can be a real pain in the round.

Yowza Gene!  That's drop dead gorgeous!!!

Thank y'all for your kind and generous comments.  

That slab was the last of the 8/4 wormy mesquite in my stash. Just as well. I'm not anxious to start another piece involving resin. 

Awesome piece of art.  Danl

Beautiful! Love it!!
