I've made dozens of customers orders using this concrete method over 20+ years and never had an order returned or mildew problem. It takes some learning to get mix right, once you have possibility's are endless. This swan is not my making, method is same/ similar to what I do with concrete mix and is water proof and protects timber quite well.

I've use this technique before to cover timber & it does repel rain to a point.If you wish to make project truly water proof mix 2 parts Bondcrete to 10 parts of the mix.Once dry it will repel or hold water, as I made water fountain once using this method.Forgot to say, you have one very well pampered chicken.

Where I from poor man's fiberglass is mix of concrete & water.Simply mix two together to a thickness that suits your project, dip the sheet into mix. Take it out let access drip off and put on to your project & work it into position.As concrete dries slowly it gives you time to place it way you like.Leave it to dry in shady spot to dry for 2 to 3 days.It bonds to any surface & protects your project from weather, & it's waterproof.Pigments can be add to mix to give your project some colour.This concept can be used to make endless amounts of projects.

Made one same as this a while back, only difference is I used old polyethylene chopping board from recycle shop. Cut circles out with holesaw then epoxy glue together, then shaped as you did. It does the job, your looks way cooler. Great marbling look by the way.
