This mug is actually a planter there are a series of 3 holes at the bottom.  The wood used was Mahogany and sealed with spar urethane.



This one is a planter holder and was an experiment.  The woods used are pin and poplar.  I used Minwax PolyShades Antique Walnut - Satin polyurethane to stain and seal the holder.

Brag Forum / Ring Bowls

« on: February 26, 2012, 11:17:46 pm »

Started stocking up for the craft show season which is fast approaching.  I created a ring bowl to sit beside the sink so that you can put your rings in it when washing up or possibly doing the dishes ... what ever.  These have sold well here.  I used 5/16 in thick 3 in square red cedar with 1/4 in rings cut at 38.4 degrees.  These bowls were finished with shellac.

Made from a plywood called ApplePly that was gotten from my local Lowes.  This ply has a very good maple face and birch plys.  As you can see there are very few if any voids.  This is the US's answer to Baltic Birch Ply.
