Kathy's Arizona Mesquite - Lidded Box
First of all, much appreciation to Kathy Marshall.......a few months ago, she sent me a goodie box and it had among others this piece of mesquite. I have never had the pleasure of turning mesquite until now......thank you Kathy!
She sent this green and sealed with AS, and it moved on me during the turning, but no cracking so far! Finished with WTF [about 5 coats after a seal coat of shellac] and is 4.5 inches wide at the base and 5.5 inches tall to the knob. A similar style to some earlier ones I have done..........have a demo on these this Saturday, and one of the things I need to cover is suction fit lids, so I thought I had better brush up on this or else I would have made a different style, like an inset lid, which is simpler to make and fit.
Comments always welcome!
