One stick for all...

[Mike Stafford]

I have been trying to whittle down (that's a wood joke) my wood hoard. I came across this little stick of Panamanian cocobolo that was about 9 inches long. I remember buying it but I don't remember why. Perhaps my plan was to make it into a tool handle. Anyway, I don't think that Panamanian cocobolo is a separate cocobolo species.

I decided to turn some little Japanese sake cups from the stick. Here are the results. All are about 2" tall and 2 1/2" in diameter. The one on the far right is shorter and for the life of me I don't know why it ended up an 1/8" shorter.

Those are beautiful! Shorter your forgot the little base?

Very nice! I saw these while scrolling on Facebook, and I knew they were your work before I even saw who had posted them.

I suppose that could be what threw me off but generally the design for the shorter bowl does not include a foot.

I guess it is a case of measure three times and cut it wrong.

They do take your measure don't they. Anyway those are very nice. Like the color and grain.

Wouldn't that be for the lighter drinker? Seriously, very attractive work.
