Will here is a bit of the oak I bought from Mike (I am not going to spin wood) Garnham.

In the simplified Georgian style as posted by Borighy a little while ago,
I have lost this one all ready as it is off with the LOML as a present for someone she works with. :D
 
Sharp detail and good finish on that Dave, it looks quite close grained for Oak.
 
dave, i like that a lot. its nice and chunky with nice clean lines as been said. well done.
 
very nice dave

by the way ironically a chunk of my wood from mr " I am not a turner" Garnham is fated to become the UKW turner of the year trophy.
 
Hi Steve,

I sanded to 400g, a coat of sanding sealer, cut back with 400g and then woodwax22.
I rub it on with a rag turning the piece by hand and then after a few minutes buff with clean rag on the slowest speed, I got a satin finish not a high shine.
 
Hi Dave,
Nice sharp goblet but from the photograph colour and grain of the wood I would have sworn it was mahogany and agree with what Chas said that it looks very close grained for oak.
Never the less a very nice piece,
Regards,
Ian

Well it definitely is oak, close grained, grown in Essex oak, don't find much mahogany growing in Essex. :roll: :wink:

It was well received, I have another piece of oak on the lathe, I am trying to make a more ornate one this time. :shock:

Google image goblet, chalice, adding georgian, edwardian etc. with each one like this.
Amazing at the diffeent shapes and styles.

Remember that the foot shouls always be close to 2/3rds the max dia. of the bowl to look in proportion. What happens in between is up to you.
