    That is going to look cool. I like the idea of the frog looking out from above the sock top.
    Are you planning to paint the frog to look more lifelike?

    This was the 1st cast outta the mold - a first run. With a well-constructed mold, many inexpensive casts can be made.

    I'd like the tree frog to contrast to the handle proper, so I plan to pour casts with green resin for the frog and a contrasting wood-color for the handle portion.

    It'd be far more durable than paint since the color would be throughout the object.

    Slainte,
