In the shop today.

I would like to share with you one of the projects that I made today. This is a goblet I made and I was very nervous most of the time hoping I would not blow this one up as it was progressing so well. It is Canary Wood which is very soft and has a texture similar to Walnut. This piece is 6-1/4” tall by about 2” wide. Since Canary is considered a Tulip Wood I decided to shape the goblet like a tulip. I also made interlocking captive rings on this one which is a first for me.

This picture show the goblet on its side for a better view of the shape and the rings.

The goblet itself was hollowed to about 1/16” using many delicate passes with a side scraper.

Thanks for taking the time to look and I hope you like it.

VERY nice. I love that wood. I have two questions.
One, what finish did you use?
Two. How the Heck did you get the rings like that? I saw Dave Hout on DIYNet do a single ring, never saw the double ring. Would make a nice wedding cup, I think.

Hi Kenneth,

Very nice! The color in the wood is wonderful.

Pat, Bill Grumbine gave very good directions on how he makes these interlocking rings a while back.
