Podacarpus Jar

[Dave Hoskins]

I managed to finish this up yesterday. Right hand is really giving me the fits! Plus they are doing a bunch of power line upgrades in my area to accomodate a new development down the road. Doing that they have to cut off power now and then. At least they come up and tell me before things get shut off. The outside diameter is 5 1/4" and the inner 2 3/4". Total height is 4 3/4" and the vessel height is 2 1/2". The depth is 1 3/4" and the volume measures at 1 3/4 cups. Used walnut oil as the sealer using two coats with some sanding and buffing intermixed. The finishing was done with orange oil wax. 3 coats I think. Maybe more. Lots of buffing between coats.

Outstanding. Would like to see something with it to get a better feel for the dimensions.

Lots of character in that piece.

Thanks, everybody! Steve, I meant to fill it with pistachios but forgot to. I do try to remember in the photos to use some sort of prop just for that reason. I'm gonna blame that on mental gremlins.

Is it just me, or does the word "Podacarpus" sound like some type of dinosaur? Here's what I picture a Podacarpus would look like.

Nope a Podacarpus has green eyes and a horn like a unicorn.

I don't know if it sounds like a dino or not, but that name seems to tongue tie me. ARG!!!

What kind of pods does a podacarpus have?
