    Tried my first Resin pours last week. Made a few different ‘forms’ to pour into. Tried a Coral Metallic powder with it. I split a piece of Maple and placed it in a form so that the resin would fill in the gaps. Wasn’t sure what it would look like after turning, but here it is-

    The other side is only wood showing. I have a few other finished blanks to play with when I get a chance as I have some different ideas what to try after this one.

    Very nice indeed! Love the resin/wood combo.

    Any sealer or finish used on the exterior?

    Yes, I used some polishing compound on the resin to get any scratches out, and then did a few thin marine grade urethane coats. The resin doesn’t need it obviously, but it is how I finish wood handles usually.

    Beautiful did you stabilize the wood or just leave as is?

    Thank you. Not a specific wood stabilizer, no.

    I have been pointed in this direction for awhile. Lately, I have been using only synthetic knot brushes and decided I may off-load all my natural bristle brushes and find a few one-of-a-kind handles for some new synthetic knots. I really like this hybrid style - @Bobcat uses one for his OTD photos. This is the blank I found; it is on its way to @Jayaruh for a consult and,I hope, a turning!

    Wow, that turned out very nice indeed. Thanks to @TADIII I am about to gain some experience turning a resin/wood handle.

    Any problems with the urethane adhering properly to the resin part of the handle?

    Please post the brush handle(s) when the turning is done. That blank should make some stunning ones.
