Natural Edge Dogwood Goblet

[Curt Fuller]

This is a natural edge goblet turned from a piece of Dogwood. It's about 7" tall and has two interlocked captured rings that I cut a small groove in to fancy them up a little.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Beautifully done Curt! What's the finish on that?

[Andy Hoyt]

Yup. I like this one! Well done, Curt.

Curt, that sure is a pretty goblet you have there. What was the width of branch you used?

[Keith Burns]

Wow Curt, that is really cool! I like the details:)

[Travis Stinson]

Very elegant Curt. Great job! I'm with Keith, I like the details.:)

[Joe Tonich]

That's really cool Curt!

A question...does the pith run thru the stem or do you need to find a branch with an off-center one and then turn the pith out of it? :eek: (sorry, couldn't resist.) Just wondering how the stem don't split...:confused:

[Christopher K. Hartley]

[Jim Ketron]

I say its a double NE!
Super Job Curt!

[Gary Herrmann]

Very nice, Curt. I may have to go check out our dogwoods to see if some of them need "trimming"

[Paul Douglass]

Very pretty. I DO like that! I am anxious to read the answers to the question.

[John Miliunas]

Fit for a king, Curt! Wonderful job! :) :cool:

[John Timberlake]

Nice piece. I'm going to have to get some dogwood to try.

[David Fried]

Definately cool and definately double NE. I'll have to start looking at branches differently.

[Curt Fuller]

Thanks everyone.

Ken, the finish is Deft spray lacquer. Not my overall favorite but it dries fast, you can get a couple coats in an hour.

Henry, the log was about 2 1/2" diameter but not very round. The bark at the top and bottom show the log size.

Joe the pith ran through the center. In one spot it crosses the stem but it was a dry piece of wood and the pith was as hard as the rest of the wood. The dogwood is pretty hard wood.

[Mark Cothren]

Very nice work, Curt! Like that Dogwood a lot!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Awesome Curt. I like the double NE. Nice job.

[Michael Stafford]

Really cool. I'll say dogwood is a really hard wood. Sure polished up nice too.

[John Hart]

Never seen a NE goblet before, very cool!

Corey

Especially one that is double-ended. Great unique piece Curt!!:)

[Ben Werner]

Great goblet, very intricate:D.
How do you make interlocking captive rings??:confused: In all my imagination I cant figure it out:o

Very nice Curt, I like the NE on both ends along with the rings.

Great Job!
