This is a Pear wood box measuring 1.5 inches in diameter and 4 inches tall. It was wet sanded up to 400 grit with mineral oil, and finished off with a honey/beeswax oil rubbed in. Two different texturing tools were used on the top and sides. A Sorby texturing tool was used on the top and the knurling on the sides was done with a home made (by me) texturing tool. The top is friction fitted. I made the sides taper slightly pinched-in at the center. Pear is a real pleasure to turn and is a beautiful wood despite its lack of figured grain.
