Hi,

Just some of this weeks efforts,

vessel in Ash 4 x 5 in

Goblet in Bocote 6 in tall

Scoop in Beech ( wofe wanted it for dispensing washing powder ! - hold around 2 cube inches of powder.

and this glued up last night for finishing over weekend, birch pine from a pal at work, with mahog base 12 x 6 inch at the moment - things might change if voids appear !

The ply bowl, if you were to turn it down to smooth it would look somewhat like this. The different colour wood in the center is because I decided it might make a good funnel . Or to tell the truth I dug too much out and went through :mrgreen: Looks OK now and is full of fruit..

It's done from what the French call ply but is really c r a p ! Birch ply comes out much nicer though

I like the little cup and the goblet has the proportions I like. I've made several scoops and given most as pressies. They are used too. A good assortment Loz :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Like the simplicity of the Ash vessel, lets the wood do the talking.

Stretched the tool and process control with the goblet as well.

Thanks Chas,

Hi Paul, The Scoop was simple, just a baseless goblet. Then i taped some 120 abranet to a cylinder between centres, and used it as a horizontal bobbin sander to shape the goblet-cup into a scoop. I didn't go anywhere near the bandsaw, the sanding was as quick !

Thanks Boysie,

It need refining somehow now - I did see a vid online of a guy " Soren Berger" I think his name is, does them with a kink at the stem, i'll try and find the vid

EDIT -- It was actually our own Bob Hamilton who did them !
