Thanks, guys. I've actually had this board for well over a year now. Just now getting round to photographing and posting it. Keep a sharp eye for many more boards in the coming days as I catch up with my backlog...

That's a clear, two-part resin that I mixed together and poured into the board. It was outrageously expensive because the area was so big, and deep. I think I spent something like $60 or more on two or three large bottles of the stuff! The other pain was I could only pour it 1/4" at a time, with an 8-hour+ dry cycle in between. So it took days of pouring and waiting and pouring again...

Well, partly. The other part is I painted the bottom of the pool to get gradually darker to the deep part.

Thanks, I made the Watcher. I also made a mold of the body which I sell from time-to-time on Ebay. If you're interested in buying one—they usually go for about $14 US—let me know and I'll see about casting one and putting it up for auction.

Heh....at that rate, I'd lose money like crazy. I'd be working for $1 an hour — or less! But thanks for the enncouragement just the same!
