1st Goblet

Post by moggymatt »

Well, this is actually my second one. The first shattered into half a dozen parts on a catch. Goblets were the subject at the last wood turners club meeting so here is my first finished goblet. So....

Here's to You, Here's to Me,
Don't drink too much or you'll have to pee,
If you do drink to much, Don't pee on me,
Here's to you, Here's to me!

Dang, that makes me want to go turn one right now! But unfortunately I must disqualify myself, on the grounds that I have already imbibed its appropriate contents! :D

When I saw the first pic I thought a big thing, then in your hand, OMG, I am not a turner but can appreciate it :)

Is it functional? If so, what did you finish it with?

It's finished with a friction polish so I don't think it would hold up to too much. I'm planning to a few more this weekend so I'll put some more photos up when I finish them. These are fun, but this 1st one took me way more time than I thought it would. I was being extra cautious not to blow up another one.

Impressive Paul, especially considering the grain orientation! I think I would have had ALOT of catches (followed by side disintegrating) trying hollow that!! :o :eek:
I too like the details!

Be well,
Ben
