Not sure how many of you know that my other hobby is making fountain pens and rollerballs, but I cut out the state quarters and cast them in a resin to create these unique one-of-a-kind gifts! So i thought i would share the Rhode Island State quarter.

by RoyzMGI'm just beginning to try my hand at bowls and I've been following Carol Rothman's book on scroll saw bowls. I'm on my second bowl and now understand why you need to sand the inside before attaching the bottom ring. My question deals with gluing the bottom ring.
