A candy dish? A candy dish? James, what were you thinking of? If I made a candy dish, and used it in my house, I'd probably empty the thing at one go, every time it was filled. It does look nice, but just wouldn't work for me. Hoping it'll work for you. And, it does look like some first class work there.

 

Looks good

 

I'm with Theo on this one... a candy dish can only lead to bad things at my house *S*.
Very nice job James...I really do like the looks of the finish....can't say I"ve ever heard of "Frape Seed" oil... I'll have to look that up..

 

Nice job James.

 

Well done James came out well,look like you are getting these trays down pat.

 

Love the color and design, James! NICE WORK!!

 

Haha Bill.

There was a discussion on keyboards going on and I forgot to say that mine cannot spell...

Make that Grape Seed oil......

Interesting. What do you use it for down there, cooking, what? I ask because I've been using unused cooking oils as a finish on wood since about 1995.

 

Hi Theo,

Yes, the oil may be used for cooking or any purpose that you might use Olive oil for.

Some years ago, I undertook a wood working course with a professional wood worker/furniture maker to learn to use hand tools.

His recommendation for a food safe finish was the Grape Seed Oil.

Great looking project James. Good to know there is some sort of good use for grape seeds as well. I always assumed they were useless.

 

Hi James,

Excellent job on the candy dish.

Cheers Graham.

 

James it's a nice dish whatever you put into i. N

 

Nice job James. Grape seed oil as a finish that's good to know.

 

Really nice bowl, James. Like it a lot.

 

Great demo photos, James, and good info on the finish. Thanks.

 

Very nice dish, James. As you observed, the ratio of an oval changes if you enlarge or reduce width and height dimensions equally, as in using the doughnut.

 

Very nice project James... The pictures reminded me that I need to make a ski jig. Think I recall seeing some plans for a ski jig put out by Harry sometime back. Thanks also for sharing BJ's idea on using the donuts to change the offset on the bushings. Great tip...

 

Nice work James! Everyone has already made the comments I had thought ...... nice starter collection of templates. I'm sure BJ is proud of your templates and the use of the donut.

 

as said by other..right on.....

 

Hi, James.

Your job inspires me to do something like this on the panels for the crib I am doing.
