i used fiberglass resin, mixed with the sawdust. came out a little dark but not bad. i knew it would do that seeing the resin turns dark when you add the hardner..
shoulda used clear.. but clear that thick can crack. might try 5 minute epoxy next time with the sawdust mixed it?

whell here it is..
thats one coat of clear. gotta sand it tomorrow and add a few more to fill the grain..ohh and get rid of the unsightly flow indicator hangin off it's head.
