Triangles

Beads of Courage box. Made with Sapele. The triangles are dyed stabilized poplar embedded in coloured epoxy. 190mm diameter finished with satin spray lacquer. All C&C welcome!
I'm curious about your epoxy process for the body of the box. Your photo shows the epoxied triangles both inside and out (thank you for revealing this). The only process I can envisage is making a tall thin "doughnut" mold and then casting the embedded triangles in the mold. Kudos on the result and for supporting this cause!

The segmented box was built with an inner and outer segmented wall. The triangles were glued to the inner wall before the outer wall was glued in place. This created the mold which was subsequently turned away.
