Small Jacaranda Box

[Dave Hoskins]

First thing completed since the right eye surgery. The diameter is 3 3/4", total height is 4", vessel height is 2 1/2", vessel depth is 2 1/4", and volume is 1 cup. The wood was sealed with walnut oil. Finishing was done with come micro crystalline wax. The first coat of the wax was rubbed in after another coat of the walnut oil was still wet. All in all probably 5 coats of wax applied and it gave my preferred more natural sheen to the piece.

Excellent little box. Glad to see you're back at it.

 

[Dave Hoskins]

Thanks, everybody! Felt good turning again. Back at it for a bit, and then down again starting 26Oct when they do the other eye. But, it's worth getting it done. So me ain't complaining.

 

[David Johnson]

Looks like you haven't lost your eye. Very good!

Most has been said, I find the eye appeal, overall composition and the finish applied, just an awesome piece of craftsmanship!

 

[Ted Calver]

Seems funny, but it looks like the right side is nice and sharp …and the left side is a bit fuzzy/blurry?

 

[Dave Hoskins]

Thanks guys! Ted, I ain't so sure about what you are saying.

 

[Vaughn McMillan]

...Ted, I ain't so sure about what you are saying.

It was an eye surgery joke.

 

[Ted Calver]

Yup. Testing your funny bone.

 

[Dave Hoskins]

I was wondering about that, but decided to launch an inquiry first. Never know. Now me knows. Me happy, not wondering.

I don't appreciate your use of my photo after the first eye operation that went wrong.

Don't lie, Mike. You never looked that good.

I don't think it is very nice that you had to say something ugly about me twice.

 

[Dave Hoskins]
