Hollow Form "Flying Saucer" Pecan Goodie Box


Now, how about this!?!  A truly unique shaped box for your goodies or treasures.  Basic shape is like a flying saucer, with the interior hollowed out also making this a hollow form piece.  Wasn’t sure just which category to put it in so I decided on boxes.  Turned from truly magnificent pecan wood, this piece has everything that would make a rustic fan happy.  You have some worm holes, you have natural edge, you have spalting, and even a knot hole or two.  Just doesn’t get any better than this.  This box holds a nice amount of 3 cups.  The outside measures 8 ½” and the inside lip is 2 ¾”.  The total height is 5” and the vessel height is 3 1/4”.  The depth of the vessel is 2 ¾”.  The hollowing of the interior follows the exterior fairly well.  The wood was sealed with food grade walnut oil and then finished with a walnut oil and shellac mixture.  A combination such as this gives the box a nice hard long lasting natural finish.  26Mar19  BXP98

  1. Rustic flying saucer hollow form vessel, wow out of this world (sorry about that ). This is super dooper, nice shape, colour and grain pattern. The hollowing is excellent especially with you following the shape, no easy thing to do. The little green man at the top likes it he reckons its groovy. Back to planet earth, you have done a really good job with this turning my friend, well done.
