Egg Cup
Since it was my uncles 80th birthday I wanted to make something for him out of a piece of his 50yr old mango tree that he so graciously gave me some of. Anyway he was gratefull and I thought you might like to see it. Finish is lacquer.

Lovely! Beautiful shape and I love the saucer is part of it.
Was it hard getting the size right for an egg? Zoe wants an egg cup and I'm afraid it won't fit the egg!!!

I use a ruff template to give me the ruff size and then I use a hard boiled egg to test the fit so far so good.

that's very nice. I like the idea of returning something made from the wood he gave you too...
Your idea has been pinched - straight to the 'must do' folder!

That is really nice of you, to make him an egg cup from his tree. You've done a good job on it, too!
I really like the saucer part, also.
How does one use an egg cup. I've seen them quite often, but have never seen one while it is being used. Am I uncouth, because I don't know how to use an egg cup?

people who eat Hard boiled eggs use them.
I do not eat them but this is my understanding. You sit the egg in the cup shell and all then you cut the top of the egg so you can get a small spoon in to scoop out all the egg. So basically it hold the egg so you do not burn your hand while you eat a boiled egg
I hope this has made it as clear as mud
and I hope I have done you egg eaters justiceCheers Rum Pig

we eat them every morning. And if you want to have them soft you can cut thin bits of toast and dunk it in

...or just thin strips of plain ol' buttered bread. Mmmm... cackleberries & ladies fingers.
cqvillas, nicely done! I really like the shape of the eggcup and if it's seperate to the saucer then you've done a good job of matching the two.
Is that a bit of spalting running through the eggcup? Or did you need to do some fill work?
