10/10/18 - Rich D'Ambrosio: Orange and Red bowl (First the wood was
coated in a red dyed epoxy, then sanded. Where the epoxy soaked into the soft/spalted/punky wood it remained red,
elsewhere came back to the base wood. Then it was coated with yellow alcohol based dye which absorbed in the bare wood, but not in the epoxy. Lightly sanded and coated with 10-12 coats of wipe on poly. ---- Genius!

10/10/18 - Rich D'Ambrosio: Epoxy Demo - treatment for spalted / funky / soft wood. This particular piece is part epoxy just to get a good bowl blank out of the wood. He uses
Alumilite Epoxy because it has a greater working time than urethane.
Process summary is that he mixed the epoxy (and dye) and paints it on to stabilize the punky wood, and then very lightly turns, or goes straight to sanding.
