stabilizing just makes the wood harder in effect its still wood but wood having air in the grain the resin fills it there are lots of methods but it depends on the wood for me as a maker its good lots of modmakers coat there mods with ce coating the mythical coating of the gods, in fact, its superglue nothing more, I'm messing about with other things I like the resin but without the wood, the resin has nothing to react with so it's difficult
there is never perfection it's always there in front of you but it's unobtainable just out of reach it's a haunting thing a cold feeling never to be satisfied, as a maker, mods are a short love affair I'm never happy I watch them go out, change hands get sold, travel around the world if someone said 5 years ago I would be here now where I am now I would have laughed at them.......
yes the first block has pink in it but pink is a strange colour to use its very elusive either very strong or light there is more pink in that block than any other colour, as a rule, I don't use it as it has a negative image, mods have to be man mods not feminine
I should clarify, it's not that there is pink in it that puts me off the first block, it's the specific tones where it crosses from pink to what appears to be lilac, it's those transitional tones that are not my cup of tea.
Good info as well there never knew that's how the resin worked, with regards to perfection I don't think any artist / designer / manufacturer ever truly feels they have achieved that as if they did then they would stop... it's this constant drive though to achieve perfection that leads to true innovation and leaves the rest if us in awe.
Thats my personal opinion of course
