So I saw this and thought I'd give it a try, something I'd never tried before the wood is Sycamore...

What a lovely little goblet. Very well worth the effort. Make another one using to advantage what you learned making that one, then it won’t be outside your comfort zone.:thumbs:

I like it. Did you hand cut the spiral or do you have an ornamental or router lathe?

Pete

It was hand cut with an 8mm file, then the edges rounded with a chainsaw file across the edges to soften before sanding.

Glad it’s liked :thumbs:
