this goblet is a piece of white oak it is 7 inchs tall by 3 1/2 inchs across the stem is about 1/4 thick. after turning the goblet i placed it in a plastic box with a cap full of ammonia and let the wood darken, once i got the color i like i sprayed about 4 or 5 coats of laquer on it to seal the whole piece.

Great design and turning. Never heard of “Fumeing” before. Gives it a nice color, and brings out the grain.
Just one thought, The foot looks a little too big around for the top. Almost the same. Do you think it would look more proportional if the foot were only about 2/3 the top? JMHO
Keep up the great work.

Nice turning…....... But OAK…. too porous a wood for a goblet….but it still looks nice….
Scrappy, I had the same thought. Foot looks a bit large for the goblet.

Lovely turning but I fail to see the difference between it being “fumed” and the natural look of white oak?

thanks guys, glad you like the goblet. the foot on this one is a little big, the new ones i’m doing have a large cup and a smaller foot. roman if i can i will take a pic of the fumed oak next to a piece of natural, it is much darker.

Roper, Great turning. I like the look of the fumed oak. I’m doing a quarter sawn white oak gun cabinet right now, but I don’t think I have a large enough plastic box. lol. Great look.
