    It almost looks like marbel, it’s really a very beautiful project ❤️



  2. Skewed Maker on February 1, 2023 at 2:54 am

    This is beautiful! I love contrast of the wood and the turquoise stone, plus the finish really highlights the natural tones of the wood



  3. Serge Cheval on February 1, 2023 at 2:56 am

    belle planche à découper.



  4. shirine roman kurth on February 1, 2023 at 2:57 am

    Very nice, thanks for the video. You said you’ve stopped sanding at 220 grit, but what grit did you start with until you went down to 220?



  5. Jonathan B on February 1, 2023 at 2:59 am

    Does the shellac effectively make scratches disappear from the epoxy?



  6. Blake Winchester on February 1, 2023 at 3:01 am

    What grit sandpaper do you use for the belt sander? I’m doing something similar and just snapped my belt : (



  7. Robert Bagdasaryan on February 1, 2023 at 3:04 am

    I like all your projects ! Very well!



  8. Cassia on February 1, 2023 at 3:07 am

    nice, if a little reminiscent of kindergarten.. probably just the seashells



  9. Heavyboxes DIY Master on February 1, 2023 at 3:07 am

    I really like your grooves method and type of material to fill them with! Excellent!



  10. dgoz33 on February 1, 2023 at 3:07 am

    good video, ennoying music 🙁



  11. Hey I'm a Maker on February 1, 2023 at 3:10 am

    Stunning, I think it would like nice in a washroom. Not sure where though.



  12. peapotter3 on February 1, 2023 at 3:12 am

    Wow! It’s beautiful!



  13. rocket league stuff kaos on February 1, 2023 at 3:12 am

    Does the finish make the epoxy shine after sanding it? How is it so clear after only 200 grit



  14. Rick Sanchez C137 on February 1, 2023 at 3:12 am

    I really like the look with the filed/sanded stone, phenomenal!



  15. Wes H on February 1, 2023 at 3:13 am

    Nicely done!



  16. Deb G on February 1, 2023 at 3:13 am

    I think it looks great. I really like it.



  17. Scrap wood City on February 1, 2023 at 3:14 am

    Really interesting technique! You gave me a lot of inspiration with this one! Thanks for sharing!



  18. bj sims on February 1, 2023 at 3:14 am

    I would have made the inlay in the shape of the Thames river in London England.



  19. jraltwies on February 1, 2023 at 3:16 am

    Maybe try a diamond cup disc on the angle grinder to knock down the high spots?



  20. Michael Collier on February 1, 2023 at 3:17 am

    Maybe a deeper router groove would have been better then epoxy would be easier to sand down cool look eitherway



  21. Mick Wilson on February 1, 2023 at 3:19 am

    Nice to see work not relying on mega-scale hardware. Back to your roots without product placement. Nice!



  22. Not a Guy CLT on February 1, 2023 at 3:20 am

    Love it!



  23. KMF on February 1, 2023 at 3:21 am

    I think I would have placed all of the stones and shells first and then poured the epoxy.



  24. Rubén Rodríguez Stappung on February 1, 2023 at 3:23 am

    Hola…como siempre un muy buen y lindo trabajo….felicitaciones



  25. CJ - The Every Day Maker on February 1, 2023 at 3:24 am

    Lovely. Crushing up the turquoise and mixing it with the stone and shells was a great idea. How much does the finished piece weigh?



  26. DAVID DAVIES on February 1, 2023 at 3:25 am

    Hi. HAVE YOU SEEN THE VIDEO ON SANDING STONES OR LIKE CALLED POPS SHED ON U.TUBE..LIKE WHAT YOU DONE LOOKS REAL NICE..DAVID N.S.W. AUSTRALIA….



  27. William W Powell on February 1, 2023 at 3:25 am

    Bet we see one of the guitar makers give this technique a try very soon – the finished project just screams ‘Stratocaster’ at me. Anybody else?



  28. Mike H on February 1, 2023 at 3:29 am

    Very interesting project. Thanks for sharing!



  29. Green Kitty on February 1, 2023 at 3:33 am

    Yes, the contrast between the wood and the turquoise is really strikingly beautiful : )



  30. John Matthias on February 1, 2023 at 3:35 am

    Very cool project.



  31. Southern Custom Cuts on February 1, 2023 at 3:36 am

    Very cool!



  32. rocket league stuff kaos on February 1, 2023 at 3:37 am

    Can I just use shellac after a fine sanding and it will polish it? That’s how its portrayed in this video



  33. Ghassan H Kalif on February 1, 2023 at 3:38 am

    God job
    From Iraq



  34. James Jacobsen on February 1, 2023 at 3:42 am

    use an angle grinder to cut down the stones. then go to the belt sander.



  35. Melissa Phillis on February 1, 2023 at 3:43 am

    Really gorgeous



  36. phantm24 on February 1, 2023 at 3:43 am

    super cool, love it



  37. David Beau on February 1, 2023 at 3:43 am

    where did you buy the turquoise stones?



  38. T&A Handcrafted on February 1, 2023 at 3:43 am

    Nice work, looks great.



  39. A B on February 1, 2023 at 3:44 am

    Turned out quite nice. Jack plane, my favorite flattening tool. It’s a workout, but very satisfying.



  40. kerrijod on February 1, 2023 at 3:45 am

    Beautiful



  41. Maxamillion PDX on February 1, 2023 at 3:45 am

    Nice work! I was researching turquoise inlay with resin but for lapidary cabochon or jewelry purposes and came across your vid, really cool! That “turquoise” is dyed Howlite which is a soft white stone stabilized and dyed, this is a great use for it since it’s so much cheaper than real turquoise (don’t get acetone on it, color usually bleeds).. way better use for it than using Howlite imitation turquoise in actual jewelry!



  42. T&A Handcrafted on February 1, 2023 at 3:46 am

    Nice work, looks great.



  43. Lynn Burnett on February 1, 2023 at 3:47 am

    This turned out really cool! Great job!
    I would like to say, though, that people generally opt for haste because they don’t want to spend the necessary time to do something carefully and then they end up spending a lot of time in post processes just to make up for the haste. The lesson is: A lack of patience when beginning a project charges interest, in terms of time, in the end. It really can take more time to fix the mistakes made in haste than to take the time to do it carefully from the start. I guess it all depends on where you would rather spend your time.



  44. Cy's Corner on February 1, 2023 at 3:48 am

    I have found some amazing rocks in my driveway too! Great project Linn 🙂



  45. Sergio Filosofo on February 1, 2023 at 3:48 am

    At the beginnng i thougth, that will look not good. But definitely it turned very very nice, awesome!
