Yew Goblet

Postby Dalboy » 14 Sep 2017, 22:34

While the Oil finish was drying on the coloured Chestnut burr I made this goblet as I wanted to do a spiral on a stem.

Measures 7" X 3". I did have a catch which wrecked the foot but managed to find a piece of yew and roughly match that to the rest as I had put too much in to the spiral Ok 15 minutes into the spiral. Finished with lemon oil and woodwax22

C & C welcome

Lovely! I do like a goblet and the spiral is very nice. How is that done...?

Love the flare to the rim too.

Very nice piece of work. Is the spiral three start or more? Can't see the damaged insert.
I could do with lessons on damage recovery.

Clever stuff as always Derek.

One day I will work up enough courage to put some nice pieces of seasoned yew on the lathe.
I do not think therefore I do not am.

It is a 5 start spiral. the piece I used to return the foot was the next piece of the branch down from there so a near perfect match

is the spiral hand done , or do you have a travelling thread cutter on the lathe ?
Don't think I've seen one on a wood lathe ?

It does take a little practice and the right type of wood I have done it on this as well as some beech with good success when I made this fishermans priest
