My first wood pours
Inspired by @fat-elvis and @gdwcoins, I decided to pour some silver. I really like how the wood pours look and figured with the right amount of alcohol, anything's possible.
I cracked a Budweiser and went from there. For my first attempt I just carved a bar shape into a 2x6 I had laying around. The first pour didn't have much detail so I tried again. Second pour got scrapped when I tried to dump it out of the mold to early and it was still liquid.
The third pour turned out decent but not much detail (I still kept it). By the Fourth pour the mold was getting deep. I doubled up on silver and PRESTO! I really like how it turned out. The top is a little funky, but I can live with it. Check these out.
1st Pour 1.07ozt
2nd Pour 2.02ozt
Now I'm going to start tinkering with some other smaller shapes and patterns. Should be interesting to see what I come up with....maybe a VW symbol???

Nicely done. Those look great, especially the 2 oz.
Thanks @methus. I'll be pouring more of them tonight.
I love wood pouring. The resulting chunks look organic.
Thanks @drakos! These were my first and I'll be pouring more tonight. I really love the look of them after a few pours. Do you pour?
I don't pour, but I'd like to one day. By the way, check out this simple technique for adding ripples, it's awesome.
Very cool. I've watched a few of his videos. My graphite mold pours have cool lines like that. Wood cools different. It takes longer and acts different. Hard to explain.
wood pours are awesome been thinking about doing some myself but most awesome bro most awesome indeed
I like how they turned out. It surprised me.
wait till you try other woods you might be hooked
Very cool! We love our "vg" pour you sent us too!
Thanks @dixiesilverminer! One day I'll get some stamps and make a real bar. :)
Nice job! Yes the wood grains start to pop after a few burns. I tried some different woods as well, but white oak and pine so far have been the best for me. Keep at it!
When you did your pours I told myself I had to try it. They have such a cool look to them. I'm going to try more tonight. Thanks for the inspiration @fat-elvis!
