I was going to show this off at the March meeting but the roads were not in good shape so I decided not to come. It is a Lilac epoxy hybrid lidded bowl. I stabilized the Lilac branches using red and blue dye cactus juice. Then cast the branches in colored epoxy. Finished the piece with Tung Oil sealer and buffed with the Beall system. The purple in the Lilac is natural to the wood.
