Canisters from scrap wood

I made these two canisters, on my lathe, from bits of scrap wood glued together; maple plywood, redwood, cedar and poplar and pear wood. The left one is 1.75 inches in diameter by 3.75 inches high. The one on the right is 4.5 inches high and almost 2 inches in diameter. The one on the right has a cap made from pear wood, on which I used a home-made texturing tool, a chatter tool. You can see the texture a little better on the image below. Next time I won't use this kind of plywood. It doesn't look very good in my opinion.
