    Default Cup tree

    A bit of turning this morning, spotted gum cup tree.
    430 mm high base is about 200 diameter pegs ate 15mm dia and 80mm long.
    ball is a bit wonky.
    finished with a bee's wax blend polish.
    any C & C welcome
    thanks for looking.

    Hi Chuck1,
    Nice piece my only suggestion would be too bore for the tenons twice once to the dia. of you're tenon and a shallow counted bore to accept the full size of the peg to eliminate the small gap at the base of the pegs.
    Regards Rod.

    Looks good.
    You could move the cross bars a bit closer together on the next one to move the centre of gravity down a bit so it is more stable on its base.

    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    Yes I agree with you both. In regards to spacing for cups they had 4 big cups and I didn't want them to hit each other. Will improve on the next one

    I like the way this looks. I have seen them in the shops but really who wants to purchase something from a shop, better in my opinion to make it.
