My son asked if I could make (turn) him a “Tip Jar” for his pizza business in Cottage Grove Mn. My solution for this challenge was not only a depository for tips, but also a jar that actually tipped (rocked in all directions). The problem was to design a vessel that would hold tip money, have a place to hold pens, (his criteria) and “wobble” without totally falling over(my criteria). It is constructed of mostly maple and has 8 separate parts (ten if you count the nut and threaded rod used to hold the removable lid on). It was dyed red, textured (burned) and painted black. Followed by several coats of wipe on poly and a coat of wax.
