What you can’t see can hurt you

Or at the very least make you think.  The request is for a Footprints in the sand pen.  The idea was to create a blank that used wood from Bethlehem and an acrylic pour for the water.  There may have still been some moisture in that blank or something happened in the pressure pot, or rather didn’t happen.  After cutting the five blanks from the mold Sam felt like he wouldn’t know which one to use until he actually saw them closer to the final state.  After all how can you tell how the two parts meet unless you can clearly see them?  In turning this one down several small holes were revealed.

What to do now?  Move on to another one of the blanks?  Fill the holes?  Fill them with what?  Let’s talk about that.

Thanks for reading!
