Saponificio Varesino soap dish
Some how I got off work at 1:30 today, so I headed to Pops' house to turn a lidded soap dish for my Saponificio Varesino soap puck. Neded the big lathe for this one. These days I've been buying a lot of wood that is flying under the radar from all the woodworkers. Why???, cause they're cheap, and there's a lot that no ones heard of that are more beautiful than the ones that are popular. Take for instance a wood called Dalmata. It's hard, heavy, has a crazy fleck of chatoyence, and has a natural occuring "spalting" effect, thats not spalting at all..... It's simply beautiful stuff so I decided to use it for this project. Great thing about this wood is it cost me $12 Canadian.
Here's the the dish. I used an oil called Tried and tru Varnish oil that is all natural, with no chemical dryers. You could eat a spoonful of the stuff and it wouldn't kill you....... might make you sick though.
Really like this oil.

Your work is beautiful Pixel, but maybe you should leave those woods that have been over harvested alone, and you and I can try and drive some of the newer, and just as beautiful woods into depletion.

I don't know why they use highly perishable woods like birch and cheap mahogany. There's plenty of woods that would stand up to moisture far better. Black locust is one, and it's domestic too.Very nice. I love wooden dishes. It is hard to find one that doesn't warp or crack after a few uses. The mass produced ones tend to use woods that can't handle the moisture without alot of polyurethane on them and even then they tend to warp.Last edited by HARRYWALLY; 08-06-2015 at 12:34 AM.
