Goblets

I think you underestimate yourself. I’m sure more control is needed to keep from screwing these up than is needed to make a bigger bowl.

thanks for sharing!

I agree with Darryl. It is harder to do something like this than it is to make a full sized piece. These miniatures are simply fabulous.

Thanks for the post.

Hey these look good to me. Smaller is harder—- give yourself some credit.

Awesome dude! That is so cool. I showed my daughter your work and she said “What for?” & I said “Because”. That’s why.

Great Job! I kinda want to put some ice cream in that first one…hahah

I concur… even about the ice cream! Great job!

-- a legend in my own mind ...

I admire your patience and delicate touch required to turn something so dainty. Your sawdust turnings certainly put a lot of my large turnings to shame. I am honored to be an inspiration – that’s what Lumberjocks is all about, inspiring and pushing each other to pursue their own passions. I discovered tonight that pen turning requires it’s own set of skills. It is not forgiving and many parts need to be quite exacting. I blew out one piece due to lack of patience and wanting to “hog out” the diameter too quickly. Oh well, live and learn. Patience is definitely something I need to work on. Than you for sharing.
