segmented goblet (celtic knot)

[Curt Fuller]

This is sort of a segmented piece. It's actually only 5 pieces of wood but cut and glued back together 4 times. The goblet is canarywood and the rings or celtic knot are koa. It's 6.5" tall by 1.75 " diameter. Finished with deft over danish oil.
just one goblet, a couple views.

A very nice goblet Curt, I like the contrast of the woods.

Beautiful Curt, I like this one even better than the dyed one! I am trying to figure out how you glued that up :confused: Is it cold in Utah right now?

Thanks folks!

Mike I took advantage of a weekend in the 50's. This design is much easier than it looks. Start with a piece of wood 2x2x7. Make a miter cut at about 25 or 30 degrees about a half inch from the end. I used a table saw but a power miter would be easier. Make a mark or use a block to keep track of where you made the first cut. Then glue a 2" by 2 1/4" by 1/8" thick piece in between the two pieces where you made the miter cut. I used some v-groove blocks to clamp it and align it all straight. Let the glue dry for an hour or so and the turn it 90 degrees and do the same thing. Do this on all four sides until you have basically 4 intersecting cuts, let the glue dry overnight and then turn the goblet.

Hope this makes sense. I have a hard time explaining if I can't use my hands.
