Resin Poured Mosquito Coil Holder

Resin pouring using timber has become very popular and fashionable over the last few years. As developments with resin have progressed more 'glass / clear' resins have allowed greater experimentation with what can be done. Below are a few examples of poured resin products.

For this project you will learn how to mix, pour, and colour 'crystal ice' resin and then combine it with a piece of Teak (a native Thailand hardwood timber) or other hardwood to create a simple, effective and quite beautiful product. The same skills you will learn in this project can be 'scaled up' to make yourself (or someone else) a coffee table, dining table, jewelry, lamp etc. etc.
