Cedar Elm Spice Box

[Dave Hoskins]

Did this little piece today and I thought it was a bit different, so decided to show it. I realized last night that I was woefully low on spice boxes and need to get with it. This one has natural edge on one side and not the other. 5 3/4" long, 4 3/4" wide, 3 3/4" total height, 2" vessel height, 1 1/2" deep, 3/4 cup volume. Used the good ol' walnut oil and shellac routine with a bit of walnut oil wax smeared in there just for grins if nothing else.

It's cute! I like it.

Is there a use for the outside rim or "just" decorative?

yes it has a use it called a "knuckle buster"..... DAMHIKT

That's funny, Don. The outside rim is just decorative. I guess you could put some pistachios there if you want. Too small for Reese's PB Cups.

 

[David Johnson]

As always very nice. Nice grain.

I really like the cedar elm. Impressed with the straight sides and squared off bottom.
