Small oak goblet

[mickdundee]

I was given some joinery offcuts by someone who wanted to know if they would turn ok. I decided to try a goblet as I thought the dimensions of the starting blank suited it.

 

I'm happy with the result although the bottom is still rough. I haven't oiled it yet

 

Image it was loosely based on

nicely turned mick.

 

by the way it's iroko, not oak.

Ah thanks steve I'd never have known.

The more I look at it the more I wish I'd made the bead a smaller diameter like on the glass. But once I had a reasonably even shape I bottled going any further. I'd probably have cocked it up and not had enough left to correct at that point haha

Try a hardwax oil that will be water resistant and food safe

danis will be fine just use lots of coats.

 

i would like to say that iroko is not the best wood for a goblet if you intend to drink out of it as it could leach out a few tastes that probably won't help the flavour of your drink.
