Faceted Canister Västernorrlands

Faceted Canister Västernorrlands

$185.00

Diameter ~6 inches, Height ~6 inches, wall thickness ~.25 inch

A wooden canister for storing tea, coffee, and other dry goods. Decorations made with milk paint and oil finish inspired by a box we saw in the archives of the Västernorrlands Museum in Härnösand, Sweden in 2023.

These canisters are made by hollowing out a fresh tree limb, then fitting a dry base into the bottom. As the body of the canister shrinks during drying, it closes around the base, making a joined container without any glue or fasteners. A lid is turned to fit, the top carved, and the sides faceted with a Japanese block plane.
