This time of year it is usually very cold in my shop and since I have low tolerance for cold I spend more time dreaming of woodworking than doing woodworking. That said, the last few days have afforded me some time in the shop and this is what I have done with it. Some end grain boxes... :)
The first is made from obstinate ash that kept chipping out along the grain rather than on the end grain. I had to cut a few grooves and burn them to conceal my mistakes... :o It is a little more than 2 3/4" in diameter and 2 1/2" tall.
The second is made from rather nondescript maple that was fun to turn because it cut very cleanly. So cleanly in fact that the top only needed a swipe or two from 320 and 400 grit sandpaper. It is 2 1/2" in diameter and 3" tall.
Thanks for looking and all comments appreciated... ;)
