With Christmas coming up I thought I had best make something for my brother. A recent post on another forum gave me the idea of making him a quaich.

A bit of head scratching followed as I'd not done one before, I think it turned out OK.

 

Mounted the blank on a screw chuck and turned the recess

Mounted it on the chuck and turned back to the handles

Hollowed out and shaped the handle ring

Sanded to 400 and a coat of food safe applied

Next I marked out the handles and carefully cut off the excess

The result, would never have got this clean cut if I hadn't bought the tuffsaw blades recommended by mutley

LOTS of sanding later and I'm reasonably happy with the result

Bottom section cherry, top walnut.

Finish is not quite there, buffing mops should turn up tomorrow so will give them a try on this using microcrystalline wax.

In the photos it looks like the curve is wrong just below the join, can't really see on the actual pot, looks a lot worse in the photos.
