Nice simple lidded toothpick caddy. Instead of cutting the bottom straight off & sanding, next time just angling your parting tool a bit toward the center and cut it right through with the parting tool. Makes a nicer more professional finished bottom & guarantees that it stands nice. Nice job.
@ 6:35...put the scrap back in the lathe and turn a little bowl to showcase the sapwood with the heartwood arm. Soak in BLO for 24 hrs or boil in BLO for 20 minutes, after that just wipe with almond oil every few months. You might like the results.
Thank you! This is finished with wipe on poly and then a little furniture polish wax. I'm trying to figure out something better though because the cedar turns brownish after a few months.
Very nice idea toothpick holder looks great
Thank you!
Like your Cedar Toothpick Jar good video.
Thank you Gary!
Good job. Cedar wood beautiful.
Thank you!
As a complete newbie I appreciate cool and easy projects. I’m getting better with every turn but I have a long way to go. Thanks for sharing 🤙🏽
Thanks! These lidded boxes are really good and rewarding practice!
Nice project, that should hold quite a few toothpicks, keep the turnings coming and be safe! Greg
Thank you Greg!
Beautiful cedar toothpick holder. I know that the cedar is smelling good.
Thank you Richard!
Awesome! Thanks Hogan
How beautiful! Like for video!
Thanks!
Beautiful 👌 Cedar is one of my favourite woods.
P. S.
Watch out with the skew. You are cutting with upper part of blade and the wood could catch You 😉
Thank you! Yeah, my skew work needs a lot more practice...
@@AdirondackIron Take a tool rest little higher and it will help a lot 👍👍😊

Thanks for the tip! I'll have figure out the trick for clean cuts with my parting tool though..

Thanks for the feedback! I've tried a variety of finishes but the cedar always turns brown after a few months, I'll try the soak for sure.
