Unique & Gorgeous Pecan Wood Jar


This jar is definitely uniquely shaped.  Straight sides with a nice flare at the base.  What could be better?  Straight sides on the inside, that’s what.  And you have it here with a flat bottom.  Please don’t ask for more on this one because I don’t have a clue as to what else to add.  OK?  All wood was sealed with a food grade walnut oil, taking 2 coats.  Then after sanding it all again it the jar was finished with a walnut oil and shellac mixture.  Using a combination like this gives the jar a nice hard long lasting natural finish.  The base diameter is 7” with the lip diameter being at 6”.  The total height is 5” with the vessel height being 3 ¼”.  The vessel depth is 2 ¼” and the volume came to 4 cups.  Load this jar up with nuts or candies.  I am sure there are all kinds of tasty treats you might come up with.  Or, use it as a jar to hold all kinds of treasures like jewelry.  16Aug19  BXP102

Luscious 8 1/4" Layered Wood Bowl


Luscious?  Oh, yeah!  No doubt about it.  You might even go as far as to say WOW!  This multi-wood bowl is going to be a bowl that someone out there is looking for.  The center layer is bodark (osage orange), then white oak, pecan, cedar elm, and then more pecan on the outside.  The layers after being bonded to each other by wood glue stayed clamped together for 3 days.  This insures a good bond and that it doesn’t come apart while turning or while in use.  The wood was sealed with food grade walnut oil and then finished with a walnut oil/shellac mixture.  This combination gives the bowl a nice hard long lasting natural finish.  The bowl measures 8 ¼” in diameter, 3” high and 2 ¼” deep.  The volume measured at 5 cups to the brim.  Certainly one of a kind so don’t wait too long.  4Aug19  BLLW3
