Woodturner's Powders
For Macro Monday's "Powder" Theme.
These are all used to fill cracks and voids in wooden bowls. They are packed in the hole and then saturated with super glue. Starting at the lower left and going clockwise is hand roasted, hand ground espresso grounds best used to fill in bark inclusions, next is phlogopite mica flacks, followed by old growth douglas fir sanding dust taken from a belt sander bag, next is "Iron Glimmer Grey" from an art supply store, turns out is carborundum powder better used for sandpaper as it dulls cutting tools instantly, next is graphite coated mica flakes and in the center is powdered brass which will polish up nicely and look like gold.
15 layer focus stack assembled in photoshop. The whole pile is less than an inch (25mm) across.
