White Oak presents opportunities
for adding color to it such as red coral or turquoise. Also to be considered is powdered copper or
brass. I added a bit of red coral to the
lid on this jar. I did not want to be
overbearing with it so there is just a little bit of it added to some of the
cracks on the lid. There is also a trace
of it in one spot on the inside. This
wood also displays it’s own great coloring that comes naturally as well as
magnificent grain patterns. Fantastic
piece for keeping candies, nuts, and other fine things. Not all of those fine things have to be
edible, yet keep in mind it does hold 2 cups worth. The diameter of the jar is 5 ½” with a total
height of 4”. The vessel height is 2 ½”
and the depth is about 2”. When you look
at the knob on the lid you might be puzzled, so let me solve the
puzzlement. Yes, there is a small amount
missing. I started to go ahead and turn
another lid until I looked at it again.
I decided I liked it like it was, so there you go. Mystery solved!!! Simple lines yet elegant and rustic in
appearance. 3Apr19 BXWO4
P.S. I have been since told that I did not put enough coral in the lid. ??
This is similar to your previous jar which I liked and I also like this one as well. Beautiful colour and pattern to this jar. The lid sits nicely on the jars rim. The bottom of the base is also nicely finished. I have many times seen a lovely bowl etc with a badly finished bottom. Another well turned and finished bowl.
ReplyDeleteHi Les! Yeah, a nice bottom of any vessel is as important as the rest of it. Glad you like this one. Take care, my friend!!
