Old Geezers Goblet Contest Voting #5

[John Hart]

Here is the fifth of the "Geezer Goblet Contest" Voting Threads. I had to divide all the entries into 5 threads because there are so many entries. You may vote for as many entries as you like over these five threads, but we recommend that you only vote for 10 to 15. This Poll will close in 2 days, at which time, we will take the Top Ten for a Final Heat on Wednesday, 4-29-06.

This is a "Peoples Choice" Contest so all members of SMC are encouraged to vote. Join the Fun!!:)

Please give me a chance to get all entries posted. This may take a few minutes.

Time has slipped away. I just finished this tonight. It's Honey Locust - 5-1/4" tall X 2" diameter. Usual finish. Tried for an undercut on the bead, so it would look like a small bowl on top of a mushroom. Kind of worked.

This one is Zebrawood with a 60/40 split of heartwood and sapwood.
6 1/4" tall, 1 7/8 diameter with a couple interlocked captive rings. The cup is about the size of a shot glass

[John Hart]

Black locust I found in a pasture. I started cutting and found out it was hollow and thought it would be good for tool handles. I REALLY like turning this stuff! Got to find me some more.
It rather small at 1 7/9 x 3" tall. Base came out a bit to heavy I think. It looked good till I got it parted off and saw it vertically.

Walnut is 6 1/2".<O:p</O:p

First entry, actually first time i've made a goblet, on purpose anyway!
I made this out of the same mesquite log that I made my bonker from.
I also made it to match my bonker, actually it's heavy enough to use as a
bonker…

...the finished product, it is 6 1/2 inches tall, 2 3/8 inches at the lip and 3 1/2 inches at the base of the cup. The smallest portion of the stem is 3/16 inches wide.

Anyways, this is the result, not much really, just what was left over, sanded to #180 and buffed with wax.
My kids liked it.
