The outer base of the pot is finished in striking turquoise milk paint which compliments the beautiful spalted wood well. A wonderful little pinch pot for dry goods, or something special like jewellery or trinkets.\r\n\r\n\r\nThis pot has been made using traditional methods splitting the material out from a fresh sawn log, sourced from a local tree surgeon. The wood has then been mounted onto my pole lathe and turned before being allowed to dry, and the pot taking on its final natural shape. A pole lathe is an ancient leg-powered lathe commonly used in the medieval era. No power other than the woodworker’s own is used, and it’s a slower, more involved process than rapidly made electric turned items. As no sanding is used in this process, it’s normal to be able to see the passage of the lathe hook tools on the surface of the item. Once dry, the base has been painted with (food safe) old fashioned milk paint, and finally the pit has been sealed using organic food grade linseed oil.\r\n\r\nPot care- \r\nYour pot is not suitable for storing wet items. If it should require a clean, just wipe with a damp cloth and allow to air dry fully.\r\n\r\nYour pot will be dispatched to you in recycled, eco-friendly and plastic-free packaging, and this can be placed directly into composting or your paper recycling bin.","brand":"Casa Elf Crafts","product_id":7876260,"availability":"in stock","quantity":1,"product_expiration":"2026-07-20T09:34:46+00:00","images":["https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-a2b89152-90bb-4e59-a468-d9ff6fdea573-End-Grain-Spalted-Beech-Pinch-Pot-with-Turquoise-Base-Casa-Elf-Crafts/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-40c06916-60de-424a-81e7-f9622a829f93-End-Grain-Spalted-Beech-Pinch-Pot-with-Turquoise-Base-Casa-Elf-Crafts/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-98c5f953-7016-4ede-8191-46f9d029ab5c-End-Grain-Spalted-Beech-Pinch-Pot-with-Turquoise-Base-Casa-Elf-Crafts/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-f31e1150-845e-422c-a4fc-f555417a9e0e-End-Grain-Spalted-Beech-Pinch-Pot-with-Turquoise-Base-Casa-Elf-Crafts/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-a208ff0f-5687-45c6-b0bd-f6b6bdee5b83-End-Grain-Spalted-Beech-Pinch-Pot-with-Turquoise-Base-Casa-Elf-Crafts/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-fc162f1f-3ddb-4fff-8d18-317ebce66a37-End-Grain-Spalted-Beech-Pinch-Pot-with-Turquoise-Base-Casa-Elf-Crafts/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-e534d19b-4ff5-4c1c-bcd1-96f03484b699-End-Grain-Spalted-Beech-Pinch-Pot-with-Turquoise-Base-Casa-Elf-Crafts/public"]}
