    Default Threes a crowd

    Three’s a Crowd.

    LHS “Laminated Goblet AWTEX” received a place in “Laminated/built up” in Intermediate at AWTEX 2013,

    Middle - New Guinea Rosewood (Pterocarpus indicus) with Queensland Silver Ash (Flindersia bourjotiana / schottiana) veneer. Height approx 220mm, diameter approx 75mm.

    RHS Another goblet from the same blank as “Laminated Goblet AWTEX” in my album, but experimenting with stem & cup profile. This one was a bit of a recovery as I became a little to adventurous with the goblet profile and detail, which made it a challenge to recover enough stock for a tenon into the stem.

    The goblet stem Queensland Maple (Flindersia brayleana?) and the majority of the goblet body is from New Guinea Rosewood with veneers and a Queensland Maple (Flindersia brayleana?) centre.

    Comments welcome

    very nice ... I have never tried a goblet. Do you use a steady rest when doing that?

    Goblets looking rather elegant, if I had to choose perhaps the first one

    Dave, turned as three elements. Goblet cup is seperated to stem & foot. For an unlaminated goblet turned in one piece you would use a steady for that overhang from the chuck. Too much material & work in the laminating process in these to turn it into sawdust. Goblet wall is around 1.5mm thick, so much easier to control wood movement off a short tennon. Even though the grain is spindle orientated these do move quite a bit as you remove the centre and go slightly oval. That movement is very apparent with thin walls.
