Resin and Burl Turning Blank Casting

with Keith VanCamp

Tuesday, September 17, 5 PM - 7 PM

In this class we’ll be discussing using casting resin and burl to make one of a kind handle blanks for your turning projects. Each student will use a 4” x 6” x 2” HDPE mold to make two turning blanks the perfect size for handles of bottle openers, ice cream scoops, etc. You’ll pick your colors with a wide variety of dyes and powders and Keith will show you how to mix them and use the pressure pot to make sure your blanks are bubble-free. Then, they’ll stay under pressure overnight and you can pick up your two ready-to-turn handle blanks the next day! Whether for an ice cream scoop, bottle opener, or pizza cutter, you’ll have something that will last and is sure to be a conversation piece when you break it out at your next get-together. Your $75 tuition covers all materials provided.
