Mimosa Natural Edge Goblet.
Playing around with this green wood one day just to see how Mimosa was, and came up with this. As you can see, Mimosa is an undermentioned underused wood. It's got a real nice grain pattern and turns pretty well.
I found out pretty quick that when you turn something this thin you either
1) sand the outside to finish first or
2) work really quickly when you get to the inside
because this wood moves around a lot once it starts drying at this thickness.
You get three guesses why this is so named:
