Merry Christmas! - BaileyNo5 - 12-17-2015

A little mixed media Christmas gift idea that everyone seems to enjoy. Jatoba base. Still need to turn a stopper, but the Jatoba I have isn't thick enough for what I want to do. Have to get some more or do a fancy lamination of some kind.

very neat idea. How did you drill the bottom of the bottle?

I used a Diamond Hole Saw, 1/2"

I have a bunch of jatoba left from my kitchen remodel I did. What do you need?

That's downright considerate of you, Wipedout. I think the blanks are usually 1.5" x 1.5" x 3" or so. Bet your kitchen looks really nice, Jatoba is nice stuff!

No problem. I'm out of country till tomorrow night. Drop me a pm and how many you want. I'll get some out to you Monday morning

Sorry I did not notice you needed some, but only have a few 1/2 pieces that could be glued up or putting some other colored wood between it.

I've got plenty of jatoba, Arlin. Amazing how much cut offs you end up with redoing a kitchen. I've made lots of thing. Cutting boards etc

Isn't Jatoba called Brazilin Cherry too?

It is a very pretty deep red colored wood and would work great on glue ups I am sure.

Yes it is Arlin. Very dense and hard. Here is a BGE cart I'm building with leftovers. (Only one coat of finish so far)
