After a couple years of bowls, it was about time to try a goblet or two. Here are my firsts. The one in the back is #1, Left #2, Right #3, Front #4.
Each have a coat of shellac, followed by friction polish.
This was also a test of a new turning tool....
Bought the Hunter Carbide hollowing tool. It's basically a cup shaped scraper with a solid carbide tip. That tool is awesome! I basically used it for hollowing after the gouge has gone as far as it can, and also for cleanup - leaving a clean finish on the inside of the piece.
I've noticed using it on those goblets that very little sanding was needed on the inside. I think I started at 220 grit.
It's not a solve-all solution like their website implies, but my first impression is that it's an excellent tool to have in the arsenal.
I'm not related to any of these guys, just a happy customer.
