THE BEAST HAS ARRIVED!

(...for the second time. Unfortunately, we spotted an error in our previous upload. We have made an edit to the tutorial and reupload it. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.)

Finishing our series of epoxy inlay tutorials, we have this colossal 15-layer epoxy inlay. Carved into a magnificent cookie of monkey puzzle wood, it took over four weeks to craft.

Leighton, armed with Carveco Maker and a ‪@OnefinityCNC‬ machine, will take you on a step-by-step journey through the entire process, sharing the triumphs and challenges he faced along the way to completing this ambitious project. Using resin from ‪@WestSystemEpoxy‬ and Alumilite and Divine Pigments for the vibrant colour, this piece now hangs proudly in our offices.
