Great piece of carving! If you like glow in the dark stuff you should check out bio-luminescent powder; you mix it with resin although you can use other stuff to mix with it too. The glow is amazing - 15 minutes of daylight charges it and the glow is so bright that it's almost like a light. You can now also get it in lots of different colours too. I did a coffee table with a gnarly slab of yew using glow in the dark resin to fill in natural holes in the wood but the photos really don't do justice to the effect!

Simon, i found resin (2 part modeling resin, acrylic stuff) on Ebay pretty cheep plus the glow-in-the-dark powder. Was fun to play with but getting a good seel to stop it flowing out (I filled the bottom of a bowl i cut-out with it) was tricky. Happy to chat about it if you want. Only issue i have withe the glowing-powder is that the resin becomes a bit yellow. Next time i will combine the glow-powder plus something else so it looks better in daylight. Maybe some turquoise mixed in or maybe some ground copper powder.
