Here's another Pear wood canister with a threaded lid. It measures 1.75 inches in diameter and 3.25 inches tall. This is my 4th attempt at thread chasing and the first time I got good alignment and tight-fitting threads. I still need practice though. This isn't easy, but I'm getting better at it. This canister was finished as the other recent turnings: Wet sanded using butcher block wax/oil and sanding grits up to 400. This wood feels like satin to the touch. Beautiful wood, though not much in the way of grain, it turns and finishes very nicely.
