Blue and green stabilised horse chestnut burl lidded box

£85.00

Each resin trinket box is handmade using a meticulous process that involves stabilising burl wood with resin, curing it for durability, and crafting unique patterns. The box is then turned on a wood lathe for a glossy, durable finish, resulting in a piece that is scratch-resistant, moisture-proof, and easy to clean.

  • Process: The wood is stabilised by placing it in a vacuum chamber filled with resin, followed by curing in an oven to harden and create a glossy finish.
  • Resin Mixing: A two-part liquid resin mixture is prepared, split into various colours, and combined with burl wood in a mould, creating unique patterns.
  • Finishing: After curing in a pressure pot to remove bubbles, the box is turned on a wood lathe to achieve its final shape.
  • Benefits of Stabilising: Stabilising the wood makes the finished trinket box more durable, resistant to moisture and scratches, and easier to maintain.

    Inspiration and Techniques

    Jason’s work is inspired by the natural world, particularly space, oceans, and planets. By combining wood and resin, he has developed a technique that mimics the fluidity of painting, where the resin is poured in a way that interacts with the wood to create striking, dynamic designs. This method allows for more creative freedom and enables him to incorporate smaller pieces of wood, giving each piece a unique, layered look. For Jason, woodturning is not just a craft but also a therapeutic practice that helps him cope with pain while expressing his creativity.
