Not a tutorial per se, it was more of a happy accident. I took a piece of cherry wood, and using a forstner bit hollowed out a cavity, and coated the inside with a thin layer of resin. Originally I had colored it with a color shifting pigment, but I hadn't let it dry completely before placing the dragon and pouring the main body of resin. The bubbles inside were because the cherry hadn't been dried or stabilized so leaked some air into the initial thin coating. After the main pour cured, I considered it a failure, but shaped it anyways. When it was done, it kinda looked like the dragon was embedded in ice, hence the name. I've changed my method to better accommodate for the thin layer, eliminating the air bubbles in the underlying layer. But it was a happy accident, and I was pleased with the results. I wonder if I could duplicate the accident, because truthfully those inner bubbles give it some... character and/or texture?
