Hybrid box work

Hello folks

here are some new hybrid boxes that i've cast and turned recently.






















I've been asked allot over the last few months how to cast- or what resin to use etc. I have taken the decision not to tell anyone how its done, and this seems to be causing me some negative and sometimes derogative comments in return when I politely decline to tell them. What I’m doing is not unique, the answers are available on the internet and thru some trial and error anyone can cast just like I’ve learned to. Its cost me allot of money and time to get to the stage I’m at why should I simply give the answers away.
Many of you who know me know that I will help anyone if I can and have helped people from all around the world with hollowing problems or green wood problems etc but I’m sorry I’ve got to much invested in this project to simply give the answers away and calling me names or making silly comments about me being unwilling to share are offensive and incorrect.
If you really knew me and my circumstances... maybe you wouldn’t be so quick to judge.
