Sneak Peek
Sneak Peek.
My donation to the American Association of Woodturners (AAW) - Education Opportunities Grant (EOG) donation - a linear laminated goblet from West Australian Jarrah for the main body and stem with Silver Ash and Red Gum veneers. Approx 8.1" × 2.44" (205 mm × 62 mm). Sealed with nitro-cellulose sanding sealer, test fitting prior to glue-up, then a lick of lacquer & into the post.
Now all I need is a snappy title - any ideas?

Looking good. I especially like the way the laminates terminate at a solid avoiding the often mismatch of laminates. Just need to think a bit more on how you did it

Another very nice job Geoff. I like the lines, especially the simple lines in the bowl. Very elegant piece. I will stick my neck out and suggest the base should have been bigger, probably up to the diameter of the top, for appearance and stability.

Jim, The last photo shows it more as true life proportions than the other photo which suffers a little barrel distortion. As it is never intended to be a "user" I decided to de-emphasize the base to give the impression that it is taller than it actually is. Often I make the base out of the same blank but that takes away from the overall impact I feel. Base is 42 mm dia cup is 62 mm dia, so about 2/3 rds. I take much of my inspiration from fine glassware & crystal ware.
ps sorry for the delay in responding, I have had a terrible time in getting onto WWF lately.Mobyturns

I love the level of accuracy required and the quality of turning. It reminds me very much of the work done by someone I've met at Turnfest and in NZ.
Cheers,
Paul

The AAW's Education Opportunities Grant auction is run to raise funds for providing a number of education opportunities - providing training resources to members or member chapters and even extends to grants to individual members to further their knowledge with small grants to attend seminars etc. So its a worthwhile initiative. Donations are usually by way of invitation, with the donor choosing an option for the level of support i.e. 25% to 100% of proceeds to AAW.
The auction itself is run in two/three parts I believe, a silent auction, and an online/live auction. The AAW makes the decision which items will go in which auction, generally the high profile works go live/online. I participated in 2013 however auction prices were well down on previous years. If anyone is interested in bidding or following the auction details are at http://www.woodturner.org/?page=2015Exhibitions

Feeling cashed up?
Well I can finally say my work is being auctioned internationally. My "Diamond Lil" goblet donated to the AAW's EOG benefit auction is now available at http://www.icollector.com/Diamond-Lil-by-Geoff-Whaling_i22309955
