This was some more practice. Glued up a couple of 2x4s and when I was finished playing I had this cool (for me anyway) little goblet.

That is a cool little goblet, never would know it's from a 2x4, Well done.

Thanks guys. Yes I'm finding out that 2x4s can be pretty good looking with some help.

That turned out quite well considering you challenged yourself with both a relatively soft wood and vertical grain which I find is often hard to work with on the lathe. 
Pretty amazing pattern for twobafurs!

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

Thanks Les, I'm learning if you want to turn soft wood and especially against the grain, I need to sharpen my tools more often or the results suffer.

I agree Ryan

Nice! It's almost the size of  a shot glass.
