Woodturning Matchsticks

This wood turning project was a bit of a fail. I cast some matches in resin, but I did too deep a pour and had a lot of cracks. I kept shaving away resin hoping to find a spot without cracking, but I never did and wasn't able to make the shape I wanted. This is definitely something I want to try again though!
