Cherry Hollow Something or the other....

Another great thing about the spontaneity of the lathe. Letting the wood decide what i’ll become.

looks a bit like an urn, or perhaps, maybe better served as a small cookie jar? (with the cookie crumbs left over it could be a cookie urn? :)

Beautiful, lid and all.

A worthy use of the cherry. It turned out great.

What have you finished it with. I love cherry after it has been aged… I bet at that point when the color darkens up it looks (even More) fantastic with the lid.

Thanks all, I appreciate it! Drew, I use the same mixture for most of my turnings and flat work. I take equal parts of Minwax Gloss Poly, Mineral Spirits and Boiled Linseed Oil. Basically a home made wipe on oil poly.

Great turning! Does the linseed slow down the drying much?

-- Jeff, Santa Fe

Thanks guys I appreciate it. Jeff, not that I have noticed. Very much like commercial poly. The more thinner you add the drying time shortens however it also makes a very very thin coat. With equal parts it is dry to touch and ready to recoate within 5-6 hours and ver dry over night.

Hi Corey,

I am beginning to get caught up on the projects that I have missed. This is a very gorgeous vase. I like the top as well. It adds a nice contrast to the vase.

Man, I am glad this came out of the archives. It is really nice. Good work.
