This smallish mountain cedar jar is gonna be just perfect for someone needing a little catch all jar. Though not intended for any food contact please remember that with any cedar product direct food contact is not advisable. This piece has nice simple clean lines. Nothing fancy here because the natural coloration of the wood does all of that for you. There were some very shallow cracks that I filled with clear glue and then rubbed in some natural dust for extra filler. I can’t even feel them. The diameter of the jar is 2 ½” with a total height of 5” and a vessel depth of a tad over 3”. The volume measures at around ¾ cup. The wood was sealed and finished with a walnut oil based friction polish. This gives the piece a nice sheen especially with it sanded down to 800 grit. I don’t think you will find another one like this, so don’t let it wait too long. 21Jun17 BXMC9 For more info please go to:
Love the colouration, subtle but eye catching. Nicely turned and the hollowing out looks nicely done without any tear out. Well done Dave.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Les! Hopefully this little jar will help get some sales moving. Been awfully slow this year. But it will pick up. This actually came from some cut offs that I am going through to see what small turnings I can get out of them. I was really aiming on the lid to put a knob here but the wood just wasn't gonna do it this time. Take care my friend!
