Sorry Ducky, no write up because it's pretty much self explanatory. Perhaps the most incriminating aspect of them is that I cut and fit all the pieces and super glue them to a piece of 1/4" plywood. The first few I planed the plywood away then I realized it was just fine leaving it. Besides the plywood gives the piece bulk and it's a damn site cheaper than resin especially when I sell them for $75 Almost forgot, tomorrow when the finish is cured, I'll drill it and install handles.
gary when your retired and just need something to do and it will pay for your hobby why not ? im thinking of doing the same thing. hell if my hobby is free im not gonna get greedy ! no one is gonna make a living doing craft shows !

Now that's a nice recycle combo recycle'... love that green.
I presume the borders haven't bee sprayed on and spatulad would seem messy... guessing some tub or custom temporary frame? Did you do a dentistry course for extrication?
Did you use French letters in the latex mix to stop it being called a serving tray?
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
Thanks for all the comments, I totally enjoy doing these. Yeah, my labor rate would not support a habit at Starbucks Ducky, I didn't even start this project until I conferred with several MIT grads and I did have 2 professors stop during construction just to guide me. I've been assured it will 'serve' somebody well into the future. Yes, I have a tub that's 19 1/2" x 11 1/2" and a couple inches deep. I cut my plywood to 19'x 11' to allow a comfortable border and lay it in using my keen sense of dimension thus giving it a neat yet uneven border which fits the overall appearance. I do trim both long edges then square the ends to that edge. I use a 1/8" white side round over then ros the entire piece paying close attention to the cut edges to assure the saw marks disappear then apply my poly finish damn, I think I just gave a short tutorial - look what you've done to me ducky
