First Goblet

[Ben Werner]

just finished my first goblet out of ash. Turns out (HA HA HA) :D that the bottom has a crotch in it :D Exactly 6 in tall, base diameter is 2 5/8 and top of top diameter is 2 3/8, the hole is about 2 5/8 deep as well. weighs 3.8 oz, and the finish is mineral oil and then beeswax.

PLEASE give me critique that I can use to make nicer ones in the future!! :D

Very nice goblet! Pretty wood.

My bottom has a crotch in it too:eek: ;) :D .

[Jeff Myers]

Ben,
That's a very nice goblet in my opinion, only thing i'd change would be the
base, instead of running that edge straight down where it touches the
table, round it over maybe, like what the base of a crystal stemware
piece would have and look like??? Just my preference, it's really nice as it is.

My bottom has a crotch in it too:eek: ;) :D .

[Scott Donley]

Good job ! My first goblet ended up as a small bowl :D

[Rich Stewart]

Bottom? Crotch? Ash? Guess I better leave that alone. I really like your goblet. Very clean lines, classic shape. Very nice.

[Dennis Peacock]

Very nice shape and form to this one Ben. Looks real good to me.:cool:

[Vaughn McMillan]

Very nice goblet Ben. I personally wouldn't change a thing form-wise.

Here...fixed that for you Ken. I seem to recall abbreviated or alluded profanity is not allowed. :rolleyes:

Ben..........Nice goblet! My only critical comment.........for your first....you are embarrassing the rest of us!:rolleyes: :D Well done!

[George Conklin]

Nicely done, Ben. It looks like you've got this turning thing down pretty good.
As far as a critique,,, see Fitz's post.

:D ;) :D

[Ben Werner]

thanks for lookin and thanks for the comments :D:D

also thanks for staying away from crotch, bottom and ash :D:eek::D

[Jason Christenson]

That one looks good to me just the way it is!

[John Timberlake]

Great job. I love turning ash. Hope the pith doesn't crack on you. Keep it up.

[Ed Scolforo]

Ben, I think the goblet came out fine. Good work!

Ben,

Looks great! I really do love the strong grain lines in ash. Very dramatic.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it, form-wise. The only thing I might do is make the foot slightly bigger in relation to the bowl. There are a great deal of things you can try to make it different, though. Thinner stem, taller, different foot.

Great job on a first. I won't post pictures of my first :D

Ben that's a nice goblet, great lookin Ash, Bottom's a sight to behold....think I'll quit while I'm ahead:rolleyes:

[Bruce Shiverdecker]

Well, Ben, I must agree with the others in that I don't see anything to Critique here. I love the way the grain flows around the piece.

[Ernie Nyvall]

I like the goblet Ben, but I do agree with Jeff about the sharp edge on the bottom.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Ben that is a mighty fine looking goblet. I like it as is. Great job.

[Jim Ketron]

Nice Job Ben!
Mighty fine looking goblet!

[Henry C. Gernhardt, III]

Lovely work, Ben. I have yet to get one looking that good... :)

[Mark Cothren]

Good work, Ben! Looks like a nice goblet to me... that mayo lathe is agreein' with ya....;)

[Corey Hallagan]

Sweet! Nice looking goblet. That ash can be tough to turn and it looks great. I have a block of ash I think i will make my first goblet out of!
