Description}: Here are 3 peppermills I made for Christmas gifts. From left they are Bay Laurel, black walnut & Horminga Negra. The smallest is just over 6 inches and I hadn't put the hardware in yet when I took the photo. The recipients were all thrilled.

Salt Box

Tue, 12 May 2009 14:58:23 +0000

by: Bill Neff

Description}: This is a salt box I made for a lady at work. The main wood is oak and the dark band is black walnut. Since I didn't have a piece of wood tall enough to make the body & lid out of one piece I used the walnut to help break up the grain lines to disguise that fact. It is 2.75 inches wide and 2.5 inches tall.

Description}: This is the bowl I had questions about the cracks. Since it's my 2nd bowl I finished & used CA & sawdust in the larger cracks. If nothing else it's a candy bowl for the office. I finished it with a shellac, BLO & denatured alcohol (4 coats). I used a "donut clamp" to finish the bottom & now there are a couple of rings on the side where top of the clamp rode. I did have a 1/4" foam pad around it, so I must have clamped a little to tight. Any suggestions on a top finish? (I don't have a jaw type chuck to rechuck it)
