Canister

[Bernie Weishapl]

Well here is the first of what I hope will be a set of 5. One for flour, sugar, coffee, tea and a sugar bowl for the table. This one measures 5" across and 4" high and will be the sugar bowl on the table. They will be all finished with Minwax Antique oil. This one has one coat of oil on it now. Enjoy.

[Bill O'Conner]

not one for salt?

[Roland Martin]

Nice cannister Bernie. You'll end up with a great set. Keep 'em coming.

[David E Keller]

Looks good, Bernie. I'm looking forward to seeing the whole set.

[John Keeton]

Nice work, Bernie!! You should get all the lids laser engraved when you have them finished. It is pretty reasonable to have someone local do it. I had some jewelry boxes done a couple of Christmas back, and it was about $5 each for the names of our girls.

[Roger Chandler]

NICE Bernie!

[Leo Van Der Loo]

That looks good Bernie, and hopefully the Walnut is stable enough for you to have very little wood movement, good choice for that :cool:

[Robert McGowen]

Very nice job, Bernie!

[Alan Tolchinsky]

Looks great Bernie; I'm looking forward to doing that some day.

[Curt Fuller]

Great looking canister. A set of them in different sizes will look great together. I also like the simple, clean looking knob.

[charlie knighton]

very nice, hope to see the finished set

[Gary Chester]

Nice Job!

The tough part is making 4 more that MATCH!!!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks everyone. I appreciat the kind words. They will be stair stepped starting at I am hoping from 8" tall X 7" in diameter and go down from there. It won't be difficult to reproduce the shape. The LOML said today to make a salt and pepper mill to match for a total set. Something more to think about.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Looks really good Bernie! Nice clean, simple form and a functional knob that blends in with the form! Should make a for a great looking set!

[Joshua Dinerstein]

Nice Job Bernie! Looks great. I like the finial on the lid. Easy to open that way and a nice contrast in color.

[Ray Bell]

Very nice Bernie. That will make any table look better.

[Thom Sturgill]

Nice. The form lends itself to many objects. Salt pepper grinders have been mentioned and Candlesticks would work too, but don't let the wife read this or you'll be expanding the set for sure!

Down here in Florida I would worry about the seal and humidity. Maybe an O-ring on the larger canisters?

[Toney Robertson]

That certainly is pretty. Are you going to make the other four different sizes?

Toney

[Tony De Masi]

very nice Bernie. Can't wait to see the whole set.

[Dale Bright]

Very nice, Bernie. I am looking forward to seeing the finished set.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks again for the kind comments.

Toney, yes they will be different sizes.

[Bill Bolen]

Excellent Bernie! I really like the contour of the form and the knob is a great fit. Simple but elegant...Bill...

[Pete Jordan]

They never run out of ideas do they?

Great job!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thank Bill and Pete. Nope Pete always a thinking. When I did a lot of traveling when I was still working my mind was always going on what I could make next.

[Matt Ranum]

I agree, simple yet elegant and the final set should be very attractive together.

[Rob Cunningham]

Nice looking canister Bernie. The whole set will be a nice addition to any kitchen.
How long does the AO need to cure before using for sugar etc?

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks again. Rob I am guessing a week. Probably will be longer than that since I am still trying to acquire the walnut to finish the rest of the project.

[steven carter]

Really Nice Bernie! I knew I shouldn't have looked, now more on the to do list!

Steve

[Brian Effinger]

Very nice Bernie. I am looking forward to seeing the rest of them.
