Small pot from a failed Goblet

Postby Dalboy » 06 Oct 2015, 20:22

As the title I started to make a natural edged goblet. Well I managed to damage the rim of the goblet part so I parted it off and turned the piece around and made this pot as I liked the grain in the log. I still have another 4ft of it left so will try again.

Anyway onto the pot from the good half of this piece, it measures 3 1/2" tall and 3" across. As stated wood unknown

C & C welcome

Lovely Derek. A real organic feel to it. The wood reminds me of an oak tree that had been down for 30 years I have some of. Reliably informed it's called brown oak after a fungus that invades it when it's been down that long. The other thing it's reminiscent of a bit is chestnut. Certainly wouldn't like to bet on either though??

Very nice Derek. I do like a bit of live edge.

Thank you all. This wood certainly has an interesting grain so will try and keep what is left for some special. I have a habit of seeing a log and stopping asking if I can have it which most time is a yes as they want rid of it.

Missed this one. As you say, great piece of timber, looks very nice.

Is you house full to bursting with your turned pieces or do you sell some of them?

Thank you Terry. I don't turn every day otherwise I would have a full house, I am trying to do some craft fairs and any profit goes back into buying turning or even other woodworking kit.

I also make things like toys and some Christmas present which stops them from building up

Well, I am sure any of your output you take to craft fairs is in great demand! Nice way to feed the wood habit :lol: .

Something we don't have here are craft fairs. Tend to have more flea-market stalls selling cheap Chinese junk and rubbish.
In Cape Town many years ago we visited 2 craft fairs - genuine hand made crafts, ranging from wood to metal to preserves to some of the funny stuff the women make.
