    Burl Goblet.

    Red Gum Burl with a blackwood pedestal. (thanks John K. for the burl)

    But other than.
    -the burl got a little crack in it
    -the bottom of the burl should of had more taper
    -if the pedestal top was a bit wider and the base a bit wider
    -the bottom of the stem a little narrower and embellishment a tad smaller

    I would of been real happy with this one....
    Onward Ho!

    Hope everyone got a little shop time this weekend.

    I see it just fine. It looks very nice, I agree about the larger base. Overall a very nice goblet.

    Good looking goblet. About the only thing I would have did different was a slightly bigger base where the vase and pedestal meet.

    Thanks Ray.
    To start all one does is turn it like a spindle. Burl cap towards the headstock.
    After the outside is shaped a tenon is made so it can be mounted on a chuck.

    Beautiful Gary!! Not so much a wider base, but more taper on the cup maybe...just my .29 worth...I really like it!

    Very nice! I don't know why John passes on those beautiful Aussie burls, but his loss was your gain.
