Yet Another First Attemps At .........

Polyester Resin casting using Shredded Canadian Currency.
Started with a small mold to see how it was going to turn out.
Mold is 3" X 3" X 1" which is enough to get 3 - 3" X 1" blanks.
Turned out great with no air bubbled or voids!

Next attempt will be with a 5.25" X 6" X 1" slab using a mold I made using a plastic cutting board. Will be able to get 7 - 1" X 5.25" pen blanks.

By George, I believe you've got it!

Looks like it turned out great, Les. BTW, how much currency is that American? ;D

Pretty cool stuff your doing there Les!

I'd have to use Peso's or something....wife would kill me if I was to shred money.

That would be a sweet looking bowl blank if you could get it in the 2" + range.

Nice work Les. Looking forward to seeing the pens you make from those castings.

I can't think of any possible better use for Canadian money
