SWMBO wants be to turn her a salt container for the kitchen. It will hold

that doesn't mean that it has to be ugly. Any good suggestions would be
appreciated.


Bernie,

Not sure of the wisdom of putting it in a wooden container. I keep
mine in a small glass bowl with an airtight, plastic lid and even at
that it starts to get cakey in humid weather. I would bet that loose
salt kept in a container of pretty much any wood might be prone to
solidify in humid weather.
