Not quite a wooden sink but just milled this out a big lump of ash I've had sat in the yard for about 5 years for a sink to sit on as a floating shelf in our new bathroom, going to fill all the little holes with a blue resin then put some sort of seal over to protect it, not sure what yet.

That'd be brilliant, never had anything to do with resin yet so planning on doing some research into it so any advice welcome.

i do have a large bit of catalpa that i've been holding on to for years for just such a purpose.

 

i'm going down to the container today so i'll see if there are any other large roughed out bowls that would do the job too. i know there are a couple of large walnut suckers down there but i'm not sure if they are right for the job?

 

 

They look lovely! I really need to keep you in mind for things like this.  What the biggest bowl you do?
