Ash Canister With Cocobolo Lid Pull

Posted in My Projects, Woodturning on Apr 17, 2010

Here’s a wooden canister that I recently made of Ash. The 9″ sides are tapered slightly from its 4″ diameter base to an approximate 3″ diameter lid, which is topped with a Cocobolo knob.

It was finished with tung oil and then buffed and shined with the three step Beale system.

The grain of the Ash really accentuates this piece, making it appear taller and the sides more tapered.

The lid fits perfectly into the base with a 1/4″ tenon. It’s not too tight and not too loose.

Here’s a few more photos:
