There is no doubt that this
lovely pecan jar is elegant. Clean yet
simple lines highly define it. Add to
that the outstanding natural color of the wood adding in heaps of spalting, you
gotta say WOW! You need to also add a
bit of knot holes and worm holes to it as well.
That gives a nice rustic and warm feeling to the jar. Fill it with pistachios, or other nuts or
even candies. Lots of other tasty treats
will fit in this jar that hold 3 cups.
You must also consider that the wood was sealed with food grade walnut
oil and then finished with a walnut oil/shellac mixture. Not sure just how many coats of the finish
were applied as all was done with it spinning on the lathe. But using a combination such as that gives
the jar a nice hard long lasting natural finish. The diameter is 6 ½” with a total height of 8
½”. The base diameter is 3 ¾” and the
depth of the vessel is 2 ½”. You know
that if you have this jar sitting on your table or desk, someone is gonna ask
about it. 13Feb19 BXP96
Now this is really fantastic, I just love it. Just look inside the bowl beautiful colour and markings, truly wonderful. The lid is gorgeous as well, like the way the darkish brown is in the centre of the lid. Beautiful what more can I say apart from well done Dave you have really surpassed yourself with this bowl. Fantastic my friend.
