Firstly thanks to hughie for his hints and comments re making an Oland tool.
I made two since I decided to use two different sizes of HSS tips, one 3/8” round the other 1/4” square.
Since making these I decided on a serious trial to see how they run.
Much of this was turned using the bigger of the two tools, the 1” shaft piece with the 3/8” tip. For some of the final touch up bits I used the smaller tool.
The goblet is the end result. It is made from Melaleuca and finished in poly with a wax rub down on the outside.
Oland tools.
Large version: 1” round steel shaft, 3/8” round HSS tip, 34” total length long
Small version: 3/4” round steel shaft. 1/4” square HSS tip sharpened differently at both ends, 30” total length.
