What have we here? A box turned from beautiful pecan wood truly
worthy of your treasures is what we have!
This creation had several shallow cracks in it after drying and after sanding
it all down really good I decided to fill them.
Some of them was done with powdered copper and some with crushed red
coral. When needed I added some natural
dust. So it is not only amazing it is
colorful! The outside diameter is 5 ¼”
with the inside lip at 3 ¾”. The total
height is 4 ½” and the vessel height is 3 ½”.
The vessel depth is 3” and the volume measured at 2 ½ cups. That can be a lot of treasures. All of the wood was sealed with food grade
walnut oil. The inside was finished with
a walnut oil based wax. The outside and
lid were finished with a walnut oil/shellac mixture. All provide the box a nice hard long lasting
natural finish. Get it while ya

Now this is a treasure ( excuse the pun )beautiful shape and the colour of pecan is lovely. The lid sits perfectly on the box and adds to its shape. The inside looks ( as much as I can see ) is hollowed out to perfection. All in all a lovely box, well done my friend.
ReplyDeleteHi Les! I got the inside to match the contours of the outside really well on this one. The wall starts at the top at about 1/8" and goes on down and slowly tapers out for the bottom. Managed to get it really well sanded on the inside as well. What is helping is some new sanding discs I found. They call them scalloped. Come in grits from 60 to 400. Really nice.
