Here's my latest project, a pair of holly and African blackwood goblets:
I've wanted to try making goblets for a while now, and I wanted to do more turnings with curved segments similar to my bowl I made a while back. Here's a link to the full album, here's another link to some process photos.

These are totally stunning !!!! Looking forward to delving into your reading links.

2X that, just stunning!

Holy crap on a cracker! Gorgeous!!

WOW!!!!!!

Simply amazing....I feel my words are inadequate to express how awesome your work is.
I showed the pic to my wife and she said, "Is that what you are making next?" I laughed. My mistake.

Amazingly beautiful.

Those are really stunning!

Ned, you've actually outdone yourself, which I would have doubted possible. The bowl was amazing, but the goblets are both amazing and exquisite. I can't help but wonder what they would bring at a high-end art gallery.

Thanks all. I came up with a faster method to cut curved segments than what I used before by utilizing the band saw with a specialized circle cutting jig. Though cutting and gluing up the cup sections was faster than the bowl, all in all this project took longer as I underestimated how long the stems and bases would take to finish. If anyone wants to see how to do a similar laminated barley twist stem, here's a link to a website that shows how.
