so this was my first attempt at a goblet since buying my first variable speed lathe at an auction for a steal of a deal. anyways it was some natural birch that ended up having some cracks which i noticed after i started so i figured i would finish since it was a prototype. Anyways, my first attempt, more to come i hope. Thanks for viewing. Any tips about goblet turning would be appreciated.
oh and also as a side note, any people knowing of a nice bowl gouge (brand, etc.), message me please since i’m hoping to buy one in order to make turning these a whole lot easier!
THANKS

This is a nice turning. Everytime I see one of these posts I regret not having a lathe in my shop.
Well done.

Nicely done. A goblet was one of my first projects when I was but a young LJ and look where that’s taken me. Hopefully you’ll make out better :)
All your projects look great. Keep up the good work.

There are so many gouges I really don’t know what to recommend to a begginer, maybe buy a book by Richard Raffan, or one of the many turners that recommends that sort of thing. Or go to the forum here and ask that same question. Personnally I use a small gouge and a rounded skew for a lot of my work. mike
