The Woodshop Shed

From an Antique Salt Cellar, My Version?

If I can find the original picture I used for this project I will post it . It was or is called a salt locker or something like that but I never heard of one so we keep chocolate candy it it.I made the lids swivel to get inside and the original picture only had one lid so they were the lift off type so I had to drill a hole in the pole from one end to the other, so that called for me to construct a fixture for the wood lathe and use the metal rod for the swivel end of what you see so that plus a few other things caused lots of labor before i got what I wanted. Lots of small bits were used with the Dremel with the flexible shaft.
This turned out better than I had planned before I started for there lots of unknowns involved. I used just clear lacquer for I had some filler in a few places and did not know how the filler would stain out so I took the easy way out this time..
