My father was a great wood carver, from carving bust's to lengths of chains to wooden balls in cages, I ask him what was the most important carving tool in his carving box, he said, sand paper,

As you may or may not be aware, wearing loose articles of clothing are not ideal for working with power tools/rotating equipment. Other than this clear safety faux pas, nice job!

I enjoyed watching your video as I’m planning to make some olive wood salt cellars as Christmas gifts. I have a 3” x 12” olive wood blank that I plan to cut into 4 salt cellars and carve by hand similar to the way you did yours. I noticed your wood was wax covered green wood. My question is have you had problems with your salt cellars warping or cracking once they start drying out? Thank you!

[@insensitivedriver8224]

Great recovery from being startled! You kept control of the tool, didn’t ruin your project, and didn’t swear. 10 out of 10!

[@konanoobiemaster]

wearing that ridiculous choking hazard while you're woodworking is wiiiiild 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@BrittaBear]

Putting the knob on the dripp press was smart!

Make your own wax finish. Beeswax, tung oil, linseed oil

Interesting video I would strongly suggest when working with a table saw the sleeves on the top should be pulled up and the head covering needs to be worn so it does not trail and present a risk snagging in the blade or machinery

[@bryangonzales4883]

Great video. Thanks 👍🏽

[@humbertogarcia7317]

Great job!!!

[@mumbles420]

This is a beautiful gift idea! I'm new to woodworking but I think I can do this with the basic tools I have. Do you think I can carve out the hole with just a dremel and burr attatchments instead of the die grinder? Also what are the dimensions of the block you started out with? Thank you?

[@gaby_inaday]

What a great video. Super easy to follow. I love how it turned out!

[@fourriversstudio]

Thank you Gaby!

I needed something exactly like this to do. This is so different than to other salt cellars on KZbin. I like everything about this project.

[@fourriversstudio]

I’m glad to hear that!

[@bnreimels]

This was fascinating! Somehow you managed to make something requiring real skill and artistry appear simple. Beautiful work!

[@miguev_makes]

I really like this and might try making one, thanks for taking the time to show how it's made!

[@brianpearson31]

This is gorgeous! How thick is the block you start with?

[@slomo2297]

I really enjoy your work! Are their food safe finishes you would recommend?

[@fourriversstudio]

There’s a lot of great hard wax oil food safe finishes! My current favorite is the original tried & true!

[@annmaries9084]

This is so lovely! 😍

[@fourriversstudio]

Thank you!!

[@kotcherd]

This is so different - the lid carving and the ball on the dowel and the non-square shape and the no lathe - and the sculpted sides. So special!

[@fourriversstudio]

Thank you so much!!

[@dennisnebgen9049]

That's a lot of hand work for a craft show! May I ask, how much do you sell these for?

[@fourriversstudio]

I’ve actually started automating the actual compartment portion by cutting a bunch on the CNC. I sell the single tiered ones for $110 and the double-tiered for $135. It’s the only way to get a decent ROI. They sell out every time.

[@dennisnebgen9049]

You need a wood lathe!

[@fourriversstudio]

Haha I do!! Waiting to get the budget and space.

[@dawnbigwarfe6871]

That’s cute

[@fourriversstudio]

Thank you!
