Fall art show black ash box lid construction continued and Additional Projects
Hi Everyone,
Well I went down to the shop and took a look at the lid and decided that it needed a finial. So here are the process photographs for this part of the construction:
I think bubinga wood will look the best as the finial:
I put it back on the lathe and turned a small tenon onto one end:
And drilled a corresponding sized mortise on the lid:
And glued them together. Im going to let this set for the rest of the day and probably will turn it late tonight:
Other Projects
Another art show project involves a box made from a linden tree branch that fell in my neighborhood in late June. Here is a photo of the top:
And here is the bottom. I wanted to add some exterior adornment to the box but as Im not a trained artist and I dont know any thing about color, painting, etc, I was hesitant to try this and possibly ruin the box so Ive gathered some thing birch bark from a tree in my yard and Im going to glue on some pieces of it back on to the sides of the box. More about this in a separate posting:
This is a box that I made out of applewood. It distorted while drying and Im unable to finish the insides so this one is going on the shelf until I can come up with another use for it:
And here is a small dried flower vase out of the same linden tree branch above. I need to get ready for the annual Blue House Sale in December and this year Im going to sell flower vases and salt cellars. More about this in a separate post a little later:
