Turning (and posting) seems to takes a back seat during the summer months. There were a couple pieces of wood I was determined to get to. I have admired Mike Mahoney’s canisters for the last several years and have roughed out quite a few of his style ……. have even finished a few. :)
When Curt first posted one of his jars with a recessed lid, I was pretty sure I would be trying one before long. Kathy Marshall had given me this piece of Mesquite in San Jose last June and it hadn’t yet found a use. I didn’t want to make just one more canister or hollow form, so it seemed like a good fit.
Thanks to Kathy for the wood and to Curt for the inspiration!
