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.

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

Colorful Cedar Elm Pedestal Bowl
Every time I look at one of my
turnings from cedar elm I am amazed at the natural colors of this wood. Truly remarkable. This nice bowl is just right for candies,
nuts and other tasty treats. Some folks
may decide to have it sitting on a sideboard as a catch all bowl for keys and
change. It does hold a fair amount as
the volume came to 3 cups. That’s a lot
of pistachios, mixed nuts, or M&M’s!
The diameter of the bowl is 7” with a height of 4”. The depth came to 2 ¾”. There is even a little knot in the bowl, but
not to worry. The bowl does hold water
just fine. The wood was sealed with food
grade walnut oil and then the finishing was done with a walnut oil/shellac
mixture. Using the combination such as
that gives the bowl a nice hard long lasting natural finish. 26Jul19

Remarkable Pecan Wood Jar
What could be
better than a beautiful wood jar turned from pecan wood that is full of
pecans? Probably not much. This spacious jar holds 3 full cups, and that
ain’t bad at all. Pecan wood has such
beautiful colors that come naturally to it there is no need to add
anything. Mamma Nature has taken care of
it all. You might also notice with the
catalogue number that this is the 100th lidded vessel that I have
turned from pecan wood. This does
include boxes as well as jars. The
diameter of this jar is 8” and the total height is 5”. The vessel height is 2 ½” and the depth is
2”. All wood was sealed with food grade
walnut oil and then finished with a walnut oil/shellac mixture. With a combination like that the jar has a
nice hard long lasting natural finish.
The lid is a bit loose in case the wood swells a little due to high
humidity environments. 21Jul19 BXP100

Spalted Pecan Winged Bowl
When you see a decorative bowl
shaped like this, there are folks who just gotta have it! Look at the large amount of spalting that
this bowl has. Just amazing when you add
the natural color of the pecan wood.
It’s rustic appearance has a certain wow factor to it. You have some worm holes, little knot holes,
and other natural defects in the wood that make this bowl what it is. The wood took two coats of food grade walnut
oil to seal it. Then the finishing was
done in two stages. First was two coats
of a walnut oil/shellac mixture. Then it
was sanded again to insure the smoothest finish possible. Then the bowl received a generous coat of a
walnut oil based wax. The length of the
bowl is 11” and the width is 7”. The
height is 3 ¼” and the depth is 2 ½”.
The volume measured to be 3 cups.
Using the sealing and finishing materials gives this bowl a good natural
long lasting natural finish.
