"Embers" How to make a "burning" resin and Oak wood vase . Wood turning, resin work, resin art.

"Embers" is a nod to the campfires of my life that have inspired, soothed and entertained me over the years. This piece combines resin of multiple colors with salvaged firewood, mostly scrub oak to give the viewer a feel of the dying embers of a campfire.

Both the chess set and the Ember Vase are being sold at:
