Jurassic park cane

I made 3 of the Hammond's amber Cane  for Christmas gifts 2019
Casting a crane fly is Not as easy as it looked, getting it in the cast at the right time is critical or they will float
  thanks to Peter Brown for the heads up

I still needed to figure it out for my resin and temperature

But I finally figured it out

I used a dear antler to match the color I was after on the cane , paint and several different stains. The cane would not fit in my photo tent so I improvised on a cloudy day

They were a big hit and lots of fun

Looks like you nailed it!

[Arlin Eastman]

That looks really good. 
   Gives me an idea for my dads cane I am making him.  Thanks

Edit to say you could have put lead shoes on him.

Spared no expense!

Well, there goes the "No animals were harmed in the making of this cane." disclaimer.

Looks great.

Ummm, did you happen to notice there's a bug in your amber casting? Sheesh, and I thought I needed glasses...
Very cool...

That's cool, reminds me of a scorpion my father had encapsulated it I 'll guess pine sap but don't really know.
