Making A Resin Dog Bowl

My dog's bowl was looking pretty rough so it seemed time I build her a new one. I wanted something that could handle water and generally take a beating. Resin seemed like the perfect option. I had been wanting to make a resin panel filled with scrap wood for a while so I started with that and then put the panel through the X-Carve CNC Router to form the bowl holder. I welded a base for it and then put it all together.

​This was a great project because it incorporated a little bit of woodworking, resin, the CNC Router, and welding. The dog loves it and it has held up to rough use very well.
