Box Elder hollow form with Ebony lid & finial. 4 1/2" dia. x 5 3/8" tall, 3/32" wall thickness. Opening is 1" dia. Body is finished with tung oil and Briwax, lid & finial finished with shellac based friction polish.
Bud, chuck and tenon always on these, the tenon becomes the bottom/foot for very little in the way of waste, at least on the outside form...I dump a ton of waste out of the insides!
Beautiful piece. I even like the finial. And you know me and finials. This piece of burl is a fantastic piece of wood. You did it and yourself proud. 8)
Awesome piece!! Could you post a closeup photo of just the finial on this? I have been doing quite a bit of playing with finials lately, and am greatly interested in the details of them.
