Spring 2010 C&T (B)

For your viewing pleasure:
One Walnut goblet which measures an exact 2" tall. The stem tapers down to a seductive 1/16" thick at the narrowest point. Sanded and finished with Velvet Oil to give a really nice feel. I told my wife it was a Baptist wine goblet. She said that it would hold too much for Baptists. She's right of course.
Questions, comments, and critiques are always welcome. I look forward to seeing what you have to say about it.

Great job Rev. love the shape and the taper helps the look too.

Ruining lots of good wood to get a few average bits.

Very skillful, I think I would have chickened out before I got that thin.

Lots of fun to turn. Walnut is pretty open grained so it caused a bit of worry from time to time. However, that small voice in the back of my head kept saying that it was time to sharpen. For once I listened and got the piece turned. Sanded about 5 different times; inside bowl, outside bowl, 3 times on the stem, and the base. I guess that makes 6. Was really fun to do. Enjoy!
