Great looking goblet. Is that a spirit stain you used

Hi Digger.

Noticed you location, I'm a Man of Kent myself, but probably not quite so far from home as you are.

Yes, I used Chestnut Spirit Stains (http://www.chestnutproducts.co.uk/results.php?cat=Stains). Applied heavily then left to dry a couple of days. Sanded back lightly with 320 to reveal the grain and oiled many times over several days. Finally finished off with a 3 wheel buffing system.

I've used this method on several decorative/coloured turnings and it always looks good (if sales are anything to go by!)

Really a magnificent goblet, the right combination of wood species.
