Wow, Nice Work!!

I think you captured the essence of the ginger jar, perfectly.

I am not familiar with the “Tried & True” finish. What is it?

Thanks for the nice comment. I am kind of new to turning and have never taken any classes or anything. I just picked it up from trial & error, I’ve had a Oneway 1224 lathe for aout five years, but have only started to be seriuos about it here lately. My biggest downfall is planning ahead. or rather not planning ahead.

Tried & True is polymerized linseed oil and beeswax mixed. It is a wonderful wood finish that is food safe. It has a beautiful satin sheen and you can build gloss by building coats. I learned about from reading about Shaker wood projects by Christian Becksvoort. I like it because it’s just so easy.

Great looking design.

That’s a great looking vessel. I love the color and texture of the wood grain.
