Rosemary's Ort Pot

[Bryan Milham]

Some time ago, Gwyntog posted an image of an Ort Pot  he'd turned. I had never heard of such a thing.(https://www.awgb.co.uk/awgbforum/index.php/topic,4107.msg35265.html#msg35265

But I had a left over Sapele pot from some samples I'd made for a man and gave it to SWMBO thinking she'd use it to hold things on her sewing workbench.

But she asked if I could make it a lid, and I thought 'Ort Pot' and what else for a lid than a button.

So just for fun, here is my take on an Ort Pot: Base is Sapele 100mm x 55mm, Lid is Oak 115mm x 10mm.

C& C if you wish, thanks for looking.

Holes could have been a bit tidier Bryan and the lacquer continued into the holes.
Just being picky

I must admit George, I drilled the holes after I'd finished the lid and dismounted it, the through holes are bare of any finish, but you are right they could do with something.

You know it makes sense LOL

That was a trip down memory lane...cheers Bryan. I trust that Rosemary will be pleased.

Les,

Yes, I snuck it in and left it laying about. I often get asked to make her wooden buttons of various sizes, so at first she though I'd made her a really large one.

Can't beat a few bonus points from SWMBO.
