Unpolished set of rpg dice with cherry wood curls in the inserts.

Technically, these are the second set I've done like this. I forgot to take pictures of the first set due to a time crunch.

To make these, I fill my blank insert molds about halfway with clear resin. I then fill them as much as possible with cherry wood curls/shavings. I let them sit a few minutes before topping off with more resin and try to cram some more wood into the mold.

I had attempted this with redwood shavings, but lighter woods are almost transparent once the resin goes into the pressure pot.

Most of the time, i will cast my inclusions from the same resin I use for the dice.

I did do a test (300 rolls for each die, plotted) for the first set i did with wood. While a very small sample size, I didn't find anything outside the norm (I have a spreadsheet graph from a previous set of clear resin with 500 rolls).

While I wouldn't say they are balanced, I would say that most dice i make are perfectly fine for friendly tables.
