Oh, yeah. I think
this jar is definitely extraordinary!
Not because of the work I did, but because of the natural beauty of the
wood. The colors and grain patterns are
most beautiful. Since this jar holds 2
cups in volume, you may put all kinds of things in it. Great for hiding your personal stash of
pistachios, M&M’s (gotta get them in there), and all kinds of other tasty
treats. Then again you might use it for
putting some of your gorgeous valuables in it.
The outside diameter is 4 ½” and the inner lip diameter is 2 ½”. The total height is 7 ¼” and the body height
is 5 ¾”. Then you have the vessel depth
at 3”. You will find that all the wood
was sealed with food grade walnut oil.
The inside of the jar was finished with a second coat of the walnut oil
only. The outside was finished with a
mixture of walnut oil and shellac and walnut oil based wax. Using this combination gives the jar a long
lasting natural finish. One of a kind
and downright splindiferous so get it while you can. 26Oct18

Love it, Love it. The shape is beautiful with the body of the jar blending nicely into the stem and base. Love the texture around the base, really finishes it off. The lid is a perfect fit with the grain pattern matching the pattern in the body of the jar. The colour and grain pattern is down to nature, but your turning has bought it out to its best. You say splendiferous, I say fantastico.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Les! Fantastico is a word I'm gonna have to remember. I like it. Good descriptive word, my friend. I was actually planning on this being a bit larger in diameter but had to follow the wood and get it where it wanted to be. Your comments are certainly appreciated, my friend!
