Not been in the shed much lately... life takes over sometimes.... so decided to have a play today! A Mike Waldt inspired natural edge goblet made from a branch of walnut sourced 6 months ago. A bit of an experiment - but generally pleased with the result... finished in danish oil.

Very elegant indeed, that stem is so fine and delicate. Love the natural edge as well. You must have the patience of a saint. Also think you have out done Mike Waldt as well lol.

Thanks Ken! It did truly test my patience and ability to take very light cuts!

A great goblet and like the offset foot how did you hold the goblet part to do the stem, I use a tennis ball which is great and leaves no marks. I find oil best for finishing natural edged work does not leave any white residual

Thanks Derek!

I just put crumpled up kitchen paper loosely in the bowl of the goblet and moved the live centre into it, until it started spinning - so absolutely minimal pressure from the tail stock and stopped the whole thing from whipping about!
