Natural Edge Goblet

Great looking piece. Some day I will get brave enough to run an natural edge like this. What lathe(s) are you using? I am looking at getting a better one, larger and for the bench. A midi lathe maybe a Jet 1220 VS?

Hacksaw007 : thanks for the comment, It really isn’t that hard to do…... Sharp tools and go at it in the right sequence. You don’t need a big high powered machine to do these little things, but a bigger and better machine is always nice if you have the disposable income and want to upgrade…... There is a lot of really nice machines available…... Have a look at the Nova DVR, or if you can handle it a Powermatic.

I use a General International 25-650, and have been very happy with it…... Got it just a year ago.

See my blog from then.... There is pictures of my GI 25-650 in the blog.

Nice job Brian. I like the holidays but will sure glad to get back to my own stuff, Trucks, tractors, and maybe finish my locomotive. Might even tackle something like your project.

Very nice goblet. That walnut sure looks great. By the way thanks for the comments on the bird house ornament. I was inspired from seeing yours and thought I would give them a try, I got the bird from Craft Supply out of Utah, It came with Kit, which included a drawing, wood, eyelet and bird.

That’s one cool goblet

Fantastic goblet! The live edge is unique to each turning and yours stands out. Love the walnut, from core to bark is such a drastic transition.

Great job. Keep it up.

-- Scrap Wood's the best...the projects are smaller, and so is the mess!

Amazing goblet Brian! You have been making a lot of nice stuff lately, but I think I like this best of all. As Scrappy said, it is unique.
