"Crystal Cave" Cracked blue resin, clear resin and cherry wood vase, turned on the lathe. O.U.R.
The "Crystal Cave" Vase, was inspired by the Crystal Cave in Mexico that was recently discovered with care sized crystals and amazing formations. The vase was made with cracked blue resin, mounted on a cherry wood vase and set with clear resin.
I basically spend my free time dreaming up ways to express my artistic side and simultanously to raise money for Operation Underground Railroad. O.U.R. funds, supports, trains and guides rescue missions for children who are in sex trafficking slavery and free them to better lives with their amazing after care program. We cannot support O.U.R. enough. (OURRESCUE.ORG)

- Pressure Pot: (amzn.to/3tfp1u2) 5 gallon for the big resin projects to get rid of bubbles, or (amzn.to/3pwX0M8) for the smaller average jobs 2.5 gallon, both need minor modifications to work.

-amzn.to/39t3lm0: face shield for carving and lathe work.
-Respirator: HIGHLY recommended for wood and resin work, speaking as a Dr, protect those lungs!
-amzn.to/3tqYWbA and those ears: amzn.to/3qa9xW2
