Had a productive weekend as SWMBO spent the time behind her sewing machine.

Allowed me to produce this amongst other things

Chestnut goblet. 12" tall, stem 1/4" dia, bowl part approx 3mm thick and 2 1/2" dia

Good looking goblet Pete, never thought about using a old shoe brush for buffing, very smart.

Very nice goblet Pete! Great form, color and finish! Very nice work on the stem! Bet it wanted to flex on you real bad!

Thanks Steve

With things like this I do the bowl first then stuff it with tissue and bring the tail up. This generally holds it steady. Still need to cut gently though. Usually use a small, very sharp spindle gouge....carefully.
