All burned up

[ldubia]

Ok, bad pun, but hey, I had to get your attention somehow. :biggrin:

This is an urn I had a lot of problems with while making. The glue up did not go according to plan as the glue did not want to hold. I tried several attempts to glue it up and the joint kept separating. I finally went to regular yellow glue and it held. So much for Titebond. I still use it for other things though. The urn is 7.5 x 6 x 9.75". The hardware is lamp hardware to give it some eye candy. the wood is ambrosia maple with padouk. Fnish is 2 coats qualalaq lacquer.



The second item (group) is the knives I have made and the magnetic bar for them. The wood is ziricote, the magnet is from woodcraft for holding tools, and the knives are Zhen damascus steel also from woodcraft.



Comments and criticisms are welcome.
Thanks for looking.

Let us know how well the knives hold an edge. I've been considering buying the chef's knife.

Been thinking about the knives myself. Please post a review.

As soon as I finish making our set, and give those to my niece I will watch the edge and give a review. I am thinking they might hold up pretty well due to the layering. I have heard good things about these so i thought I might try them.

And thanks Joe for the bad pun. :biggrin: I love a good sense of humor. But I know you were just cuttin' up.

I urn'estly accept your thanks.

What happens to the glue two or three years of holding a rather unhappy decedent. ??
