Tall test Canister

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


What I was trying to accomplish is have the flutes on it the same length on each of the wider rings of the canister for a up coming project. Pic 4 shows a better view of it. It looked very easy to me on paper but it took some extra measuring. I think it will work. Fun and good practice on the lathe plus I got to use the fluting jig and the indexer.https://www.lumberjocks.com/projects/416404I made this from a piece of spalted gum which didn't turn out as nice as I thought so hence it became a test turning. I also decided to fill the flutes with Mahognany for more color and add a little character.. The lid and knob was all one piece but again it looked plain so I cut it off and made a mahogany knob for it.
11'' tall and hollowed 9 1/2'' deep. Finished with satin but after buffing it looks more glossy now.
All in all it turned out a lot nicer than expected.
