I have 3 upcoming demos........two in August ......one on finials, and one on finishing with General Finishes Wood Turners Finish [WTF] and another in September on goblets with ornate stems/pedestals. I will make a several and take along a couple already turned and use them to show different styles.
After our last show & tell when I took that tall apple/Walnut goblet, http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?203545-Fruits-amp-Nuts-tall-goblet&highlight= I got an email and an invitation to do a demo on goblets as it was one of the requested demos by club members as they put their preferences on the survey sheet from our club president.
I took a little time this afternoon to get started making one........I wanted the features to be bold on this one as far as size, so I did not go for thin or delicate on purpose..........but it is very proportional, even though it is not fragile.
This is a piece of Hackberry that I acquired last year, and did not know what I was going to do with it...........so it got called up for duty on this series of goblets I am going to do. I have only turned one other piece of hackberry, so I have a question.......
Is this blackish/brownish staining normal on hackberry? It did not have any mold or any such thing on it, but it did have a strip of bark on one side.........perhaps the staining is from the cambium layer under the bark? Any ideas about this?
