    Default Mango Goblet

    Hi forumites

    Felt the urge to try my hand at turning a goblet last night so I threw a lump of Mango into the chuck and had a crack. The timber had a few more beetle holes than I expected but overall I'll pretty happy with how it turned out.

    Comments and criticisms welcome as always

    Good basic shape and nice proportions. Might have made the base/foot a bit smaller diameter. Nothing wrong with a few tunnels here and there. Nice goblet.

    Agree with Texian 'bout the foot, a few mils smaller might have done her...looks good otherwise
