This is the second piece of wood I was determined to get to this summer. Robin Costelle had given it to me at the Tennessee Symposium in January but I couldn’t come up with anything special to do with it.
I admit that I told him I didn’t need any more wood to turn when he brought it over to my car…….but I am glad he didn’t listen! Thanks for a very pretty piece of wood Robin!
After roughing out the mesquite jar and realizing it was somewhat lacking in curves, I tried to accentuate them a bit more with this one. I was aided in that regard by trying to turn away a bark inclusion that ended up going pretty deeply into the blank.(The thicker dark line in the center of the canister is what’s left of it)

8 ¾” x 4 ¼” Finished with AO and buffed.

The mesquite canister was a wedding shower gift for my daughter and the elm an anniversary gift for my wife.
267899
Two nice pieces of wood given by two special people.

Thoughts and suggestions on curves and forms are welcome and appreciated!
