Trying to think of something I could make for my wonderful SWMBO for Easter ... and I came up with this candy dish out of the vast store of Cherry I have on hand. I turned the bowl and the lid out of two separate pieces. I try to use the same piece for both, but didn't have one on hand that was deep enough. The bowl is 7 1/2" X 4" with a wide lip on the inside top, which I undercut with the new hollowing tool I was given this week. This lip is what the lid sits on, with a small ring on the underside of the lid to keep it from sliding off the bowl when it's picked up. the lid is 6" X 2" and is also hollowed out. I figured if I gave it to her with candy in it, it hopefully will benefit both of us. Since it'll be used for candy, I only applied a mineral oil finish. Thanks for looking. Hope you all have a wonderful holiday.
