I made mine last night. I'd been trying to push the envelope with a combination of styles but it blew up miserably. I think my problem was choice of wood and size. I was trying to combine the multiaxis turning with a goblet of rather tall proportions but since I was using cedar, the stem just wasn't strong enough to hold up to finishing the cup. I ended up with a tall NE goblet with rings. I'll keep the multiaxis idea for when I feel lucky again. I think with some changes, I can make it work.

My first try burned up in the fireplace last night. Both tries ended up in multiple IFO's and that was with the lathe running as slow as possible, VERY light cuts, and a whole lot of pucker. I think next time I will try to keep the bends closer to the center line. I had the outside turn about as far away from center as I could go.

No.1 was a bowl way large for the stem. Ahh it was suppose to be a practice piece anyway. No. 2 I hollowed through the bowl. Sad moment . Going back out to start again.

I'm not going to commit yet cos my shop time seems to be so sporadic these days. I am trying to make one though. Try #1 doesn't quite hit the requirements (stem too short and a shade too thick.) Try #2 I was just starting to do some final shaping on the base and had a catch and snapped the stem. Going to try to save that one with a different base, but again won't make the cut for the C&T. Try #3 forthcoming... fun stuff! Wink

If you at least try them, you will stretch your abilities. And the best part is getting something from another turner for your collection.
