Maple Cup

[Ben Werner]

I finished this maple cup a couple of days ago, I think it may be ambrosia... am I right? well I finished it with miniral oil and shellac on outside and mineral oil and beeswax on inside so its a safe drinking cup. 4 in tall, top width is 3 1/2 and bottom width is 1 3/4. you guys know what to do! I'm not sure if I like the lip at the top... what are your views on the matter??

You don't see many turned cups, but I like it Ben. You did a bang-up job on it.;)

[Bernie Weishapl]

Ben I like the cup. Fantastic job. Just to cool.

[Mark Cothren]

Nice work, Ben! Keep 'em coming! To go along with what Travis said, I think that's the first turned cup like that I have seen. Good job!

[Keith Burns]

Ben, I've not seen one like that either, but it looks good and well executed.:) :)

[Ben Werner]

thanks, well to tell ya the truth it was origanly going to be a vase but for some reason it turned into a cup... Looks good anyway. Very pretty wood, I'm Planing on making another triangular box from whats left of the log. :D

Very nice work, Ben. A smooth line on the outside, and I like the lip. The only thing I would do to it is perhaps a little treatment of the foot.
