My wife said egg...I say 16" shell from a battleship...I told her she won, I know better!
Given the bunch of boxes from Mike and the CSUSA catalog, I though something other than a cylinder would be a change for me. Some beech left over from a pepper mill about 4.5x2.5. Finished with the Ray Key (I think it was him) Renwax trick. I had a huge catch when the bottom was chucked to remove the tenon...I forgot that grain orientation changed:doh:. Having to remove the extra wood really helped the shape:D. Since there is no lip or knob, the fit is not suction, but firm. 2 coats of Mylands at 1500 and Renwax to finish.

C&C used on the next one:thumb:
