The First Cooperative Project


Pictured left is the first project out of the shop combining some of my work with my sweeties. She turned and fired the ceramic pot that you see. It is glazed in what she called a floating blue glaze that I think is just beautiful. It is glazed both inside and out and will hold about 1/2 lb of tobacco.
I have added the turned top made from Alder wood. The outside has been oiled and garnet shellaced. The inside of the lid is natural wood. A rubber gasket was added to retain the freshness of the stored material. This will be on my bar from now on and it is the first of a series of Tobacco vaults that we will be making. If you like it or have any suggestions please let us know what you think. Thanks for stopping and looking.

The bowl in question was not found, it was hand made and fired. The top as well was hand made.
