Acrylic Consecrated Oil Vial Keyring

My recent projects include Wizard School House-colored Wands using acrylic materials for the handles. It was a bit of a stretch to me to use a material other than wood - matter of principle I guess - but they turned out well (sorry, turned - haha) so I saved a scrap and tried it for a keyring oil vial. I like the results.

From top to bottom, the vials pictured here are Sapphire (top), Lime and Black Marble, Jade Swirl, and Crimson and Black Marble(bottom). You can choose from any of the other colors found here or here.

Because the materials are a little more pricey than the wood I usually use, and instead of four grades of sandpaper I have to go through 12 grades, these cost a bit more - $34.95

Acacia Consecrated Oil Vial

Acacia wood is one of those historically or religiously significant woods. It's what the Ark of the Covenant was made from. Makes sense, then, to use it for a consecrated oil vial, don't you think? Pictured above with chrome, convex shape with three burned grooves. Gold finish is also available, as are other shapes. Price: $25.00

Consecrated Oil Vial - Box Elder Burl

These consecrated oil keyring vials are turned from stabilized dyed Box Elder burl, with gold-plated parts. The Box Elder tree is a variety of maple tree, also known as Boxelder Maple and Maple Ash. A small, fast-growing, and short-lived tree, it has generally weak wood with little use commercially, except for the burls, which have beautiful coloring and grain patterns.

The burl can then be impregnated with dye with varied results - sometimes it soaks through, other times areas are left their natural color for striking results. The dyed box elder burls are available in yellow, red, blue, black, green, purple, brown, and magenta.

The vial parts are available in chrome or gold plated.

A unique, handmade, a perfect gift for any Elder, whether dad for Fathers Day, brother for Mission

Farewell, or a son for his ordination to the priesthood. Inside is a glass vial that can just as easily hold perfume or essential oils.

Shelf-Top Oil Vial

A friend of mine was looking for an oil vial for his consecrated oil that was for his home supply - something nicer than the cheapo plastic containers that you get at the LDS Distribution Centers. I thought this was the perfect solution - hand-turned from cocobolo (other woods are available) and made with attention to detail. Inside is a glass vial with a threaded cap. The possibilities are endless. For an exotic wood like cocobolo, the price starts at $35. Domestics could be less. Email me for a quote.

Eucalyptus Burl Consecrated Oil Vial

Eucalyptus is an Australian wood, very popular among Australian woodturners, and for good reason. It has widely varying figure, and is a warm, light brown color. It looks awesome when it's turned and it finishes up nicely, to a semi gloss sheen from sanding with no finish applied.

Kingwood Consecrated Oil Vial

Kingwood, also called Violetwood or

Violete because of its purple cast, is from a slender low tree native to Brazil. It is called kingwood because in the 18th and 19th century it was a favorite wood of French kings for their furniture. It is fairly rare, and its fine texture and stability makes it a prized wood for inlay work, wood turning, and fancy accessories.

Zebrawood and Chrome Consecrated Oil Keyring Vial

This vial is hand-turned from African Zebrawood. Also called Zebrano, African zebrawood trees can reach in excess of 150'. Diameters commonly measure between 5' and 7'. Heartwood is light golden-yellow with streaks and veining of dark chocolate brown. Dries slowly, and tends to surface check and end-split during seasoning. Coarse texture and interlocked grain must be surfaced wih care. High-luster finish on this wood makes it extremely decorative.

Freshly cut bocote has a green tinge, and is oily to the touch. It has an herby, dill-like scent when cut.

Olive Wood Consecrated Oil Vial Keyring

Some olive trees have been alive since the time of Christ. A long-lived gnarled tree with a short bole, often with numerous holes and cavities, olive wood is one of the world's most beautiful woods. Heartwood is light brown to dark brown with irregular streaks of grey, brown, and black, giving a marble-like appearance. Irregular, interlocked grain is dense, turns easily and cuts very clean. These aromatic blanks are selecte

d for figure and color. And aromatic isn't putting it mildly - when cut, this wood smells very strongly of opened green olives and olive oil - I guess that shouldn't be a surprise. In addition to its beautiful caramel and chocolate swirling grain patterns, olive wood has special religious significance that makes a consecrated oil vial especially treasured and unique. It's somehow fitting to use olive wood to store the olive oil. For an additional $10.00, wood from prunings of live olive trees in the Holy Land can be used.

Laminated Hardwood Consecrated Oil Vial

As I work with exotic woods, I save the thin cut-offs, and combine them to create dramatic, beautiful results. Look closely at the first vial pictured and you'll see walnut, bloodwood, maple, and purpleheart. The second, from left to right, is made from padauk, zebrawood, ebony, purpleheart, zebrawood, blackwood, bloodwood, zebrawood, and purpleheart again. These vials are completely unique, as individual as the person they're made for.

A unique, handmade, a perfect gift for any Elder, whether dad for Fathers Day, brother for Mission Farewell, or a son for his ordination to the priesthood.

Elm wood is hard, with coarse, interlocking grain. It polishes to a satin sheen with no finish applied, and has a comfortable woody smell when cut or sanded. It is hard, and resistant to cracking and splitting. The vial shown above shows the darker heartwood, and the lighter sapwood, for a unique and beautiful vial. Please specify if you want sapwood in your vial.

Bloodwood LDS Consecrated Oil Vial

Bloodwood is actually a name for several types of reddish wood. This is the Brosimum Rubescens botanical name, and is hard and tough, with no smell at all, unless it's smoking hot, in which case it smells like coconut and sweet incense. Shavings are a striking bright red color, and it finishes nicely. Hard and strong, it's supposed to age to a deep brown color, but the finish will slow that down.

Apricot Wood Consecrated Oil Vial

These LDS Consecrated Oil Keyring Vials are made from gold or chrome-plated parts and Apricot wood. A unique, handmade, a perfect gift for any Elder, whether dad for Fathers Day, brother for Mission Farewell, or a son for his ordination to the priesthood. Inside is a glass vial that can just as easily hold perfume or essential oils.

Apricot wood is a favorite for woodturning - color varies from a vivid yellow-gold to orange to deep brown, often with contrasting and swirling grain. Random apricot trivia: Among American tank-driving soldiers, apricots are taboo, by superstition. Tankers will not eat apricots, allow apricots onto their vehicles, and often will not even say the word "apricot". This superstition stems from Sherman tank breakdowns purportedly happening in the presence of cans of apricots.

Ambrosia Maple and Chrome - LDS Consecrated Oil Vial

These LDS Consecrated Oil Keyring Vials are made from chrome-plated parts and Ambrosia Maple. A unique, handmade, a perfect gift for any Elder, whether dad for Fathers Day, brother for Mission Farewell, or a son for his ordination to the priesthood. Inside is a glass vial that can just as easily hold perfume or essential oils.

Ambrosia Maple is one of my favorite woods for turning. Ambrosia refers to the fungus that causes the black streaks. It's introduced by beetles that cary the spores with them. They burrow in to dead maple trees, lay eggs, and leave, and the spores they leave behind begin to break down the walls of the hole into food the larvae can eat. When they grow up and leave, they take the spores with them. The fungus only exists in symbiosis with the beetles, and the beetles can't live without the fungus. Cool stuff. The resulting staining pattern in the maple is distinct, dramatic, and beautiful.
