A few weeks ago I saw a jug made by Seamus Cassidy, featured in a woodturning magazine, and fancied having a go at making one myself. I deliberately didn't refer to the magazine when I made this, as I wanted it to be my own version, rather than heavily influenced by the photograph. It's been a long job, with numerous trips to the lathe and lots of coffee breaks, but at last it's finished. The doc has told me not to avoid any vibration through the arms, so as not to inflame the neck muscles, so I drilled out the core then used light cuts with a 'Big Brother' hollowing tool to achieve the inner shape, which worked really well.
The finished jug is 10" tall and just under 4" diameter, with the jug wall down to about 7mm, tapering to 4mm at the lip. It's made of sycamore and oak-burr, and has had one coat of Danish Oil, so a few more coats to go, and I'll keep it down to a satin sheen.
