I wish there was a good story behind this, but there really isn’t.
I was working on the little goblet and the box at the same time (turning is a great thing to do while the glue is drying on your other project), and at some point I realized that the goblet would fit into the box, Whaddya know? I stole a piece of fabric from my wife’s sewing room, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Both pieces started off with BLO. The vessel was completed with turning wax at the lathe, while the box was given multiple coats of water based poly, sanded back, then rubbed out with rottenstone and pumice. It is smooth as glass, although the pictures really don’t show it well.

Lee, there is some foam under the fabric, roughly cut out to accept the shape of the goblet. I just wrapped the fabric loosely around the foam to allow it to billow a bit.

Very nicely done.
Can you tell us what kind of wood you used for the goblet and the box?

Very nice. Too clever by half (whatever that means).
You appear to be getting more clever by the day.
Soon you will have to replace your avatar.

Fantastic job Charlie. The best of both worlds. You get to turn and still make your wonderful box. Great idea.
Keep it up.

Thanks, everyone.
The wood for both pieces is walnut, and the corner inlays are maple.
