Chokecherry and resin goblet

15
3
Almost three weeks into this project. It started as a chokecherry branch which cracked a lot as it dried. I filled the cracks with resin, turned the goblet a bit, then filled more.


After finish turning, I finished it with homemade friction finish of BLO and shellac, and will be putting a few coats of Tru-Oil on the outside, and possibly a coat of clear epoxy on the inside. I haven’t decided if it should be a usable drinking vessel or not. 

The goblet is 5½ inches tall (14cm) and 3½ inches (8cm) diameter. The walls are 3/16 inch (4¾ mm) thick.

May you have the day you deserve!

Really good looking goblet.    Resin in this case works great.

I vote for drinking vessel, even if you never use it as such.
Great looking goblet Dave.
