Box Elder Jar

[Phil Powell]

I've been hanging around here for quite some time now reading and viewing.
I think It's my turn to post something. Here's a covered jar turned from a
box elader burl. The rim and lid are cherry. With the lid it's about 7 inches tall. This is number eight in a series of small burl jars.

Phil that's a very nice burl jar. Welcome to the lunacy. Looking forward to seeing the rest of those jars.

[Corey Hallagan]

It's sanded to 400 grit and finished with walnut oil and Mahoney wax. The photo is a bit grainy I should try again.

[Phil Powell]

Thanks for the kind words!
