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 and the vastness of space, which he captures through his unique use of wood and resin. His technique of pouring resin like painting allows him to create designs that represent planets, oceans, and galaxies. This method gives him creative freedom and the ability to work with smaller pieces of wood. For Jason, woodturning is not only a craft but a therapeutic practice, blending artistry with a personal journey of resilience.
