Just finished these little lids, they are small. About 2.25" or just less than 60mm in diameter. The gift shop they go to sells loose tea and herbs in bulk. The owner wanted these little lids to dress up 4oz mason jars.

 

 

 

Sycamore limbs are ideal for making a natural or live edge knob and the trees are always providing material to work with, always.

 

The natural edge knobs go quickly and it occurred to me to try doing some of the knobs cross grain. Pretty happy this look and anxious to see what Cindy (shop owner) thinks of them.

Those are some cool knobs!

No doubt Cindy will love them, well done!

As always they're great.  Your finish rocks.

Thanks all! Dan, thank you. It's just your basic lacquer finish. 2 coats of shellac as a sanding sealer, sand, then 3 top coats of gloss lacquer

Very nice lids and the knobs are an unexpected hilight

Very creative and a cool look. Thanks for sharing Steve.
