Besides the wedding goblet I made a couple other things in the past few days... but don't want to put up a bunch of threads so here they are: As always, comments and critique wanted!! :thumb: Cherry Bowl: 13 1/2 by 4 3/4. Right now its just mineral oil... might do something over the top of...

Well eventually came sooner than later. After turning out 5 goblets in the past couple weeks I figured may as well do this one while I'm on my goblet game. :rofl::D They will get to my cousin for her wedding in the fall. The new one is the slightly darker one. Mineral oil and then buffed on...

I'm sure many of you remember that my dad went to Elia Bizzarri's for a week to learn how to make a windsor chair just about year ago now. (See thread here: http://familywoodworking.org/forums/showthread.php?t=17775) He got the required wood shortly there after and its been sitting outside the...

Over the past couple of years I have spent the majority of my time away from home and therefore the lathe. When I am lucky enough to have time to make it home, I often relax by heading out to the shop and making chips fly. I rarely had time or the will to take pictures of my pieces. But during...

for those of you with cold or cool shops: bring your toolrest inside and place it near a source of heat. I decide to try that the other day and its wonderful. nothing like having a nice warm piece of metal for your fingers as opposed to a freezing one. now i just bring it in when i'm done and...

I'm pretty happy with this one. cracking a tiny bit but not bad. I might end up putting poly on then buffing, or just buffing with the mineral oil it has on now. 6 by 5 1/2 by 3 in high. Critique Please. 3/8 thick... has a tiny bit of curl/quilting.

well I was inspired to try one of these... so I did. I like it, you dont run across the difficulty of deep hollowing which is nice. :D originally made the lid loose but now its tight... it is shellac finish. 1 3/8 high by 2 1/2 wide. as always, critique please!!

This is by far the prettiest wood I have worked with so far. I turned it wet so it is warping now a bit but thats ok... it shows up like crazy in the second and third photo... doesnt really seem that bad. 6*1 3/8 inches. Poly and buffed with wd and carnauba wax. its finish is much better in...

HI ALL!! well havent posted here in a while... been really busy... anyway I finally got around to making one of these... bubinga wood from Ken Fitzgerald (THANK YOU!!!). I tried fortifying it with ca glue to make it stronger... last one I made broke the first day I wore it and I never got a...
