Hi Gang,
Just trying to see how small I can go with wood.
I may try smaller with some Acrylic.
The goblet was turned on the Jet mini from American Holly. The finish looked like glass until I took the micro photo, oh well, guess I have to brush up on my finishing teqneeks.
The tools used were a 0.045" skew and square end scraper, (Store Bought) yep they make em that small.
At this rate Im down to about a shot glass full of chips a year, not much for the compost pile.:D
Some photos of a micro mimi.
Thanks for peekin.

Where in the heck did you get a dime that dang big.
Just think you could carry a bunch---several bunches-- in your shirt pocket.
That is real neat.

Heck, I can't even see what you are talking about. What goblet? What shot glass full of chips? Shoot Bill you make me feel old; a micro mini used to refer to a really short skirt.....:p :D
Excellent work, I guess, if you really believe it is there.:cool:

I said it before and I'll say it again - I'd like to be your optician, shrink, or pharmacist.
