Woodturning - Red Cedar and Epoxy Goblet

When it comes to patience and time this project really required an ample amount of both. I could have made it easier had the vessel been drilled before narrowing the stem but regardless I couldn’t be happier with the end product. The first video of me wood turning an elegant grail! I hope you enjoy.

Next time hollow out and finish the cup first, then do the skinny work on the stem. Nice work.

That would have made such a smoother drilling process. I could feel the stem flexing while drilling- seemed like the stem could give at any moment but I got lucky!
Thanks mark!

I envy you in this one. I absolutely love the smell of cedar and I would have loved to be in your place. This goblet is gorgeous

Beautiful work! I would make the video longer when you show the finished goblet so people can see it for a longer period of time.

Very beautiful! 👍😊

Thanks for the thumbs up! Pinky up when I drink from this cup, though ;)

Is there someplace I could go to buy a couple of your wooden coffee mugs for family gifts?

Como se llama el producto que usaste para el acabado brillante?

[@PrestonsProjects]

Es un acabado de aceite de grado alimenticio. Una combinación de cera de abejas y aceite de naranja.
