Maple Eccentric Goblet

My first shot at eccentric turning. Quite exciting. Stands about 7.5" tall. Tung Oil finish. All comments more than welcome. Thanks for looking, Don

You've done well here because there must have been quite a shadow at the end when you were off-centre. Normally a large centre piece wouldn't work but, with the proportions of this goblet it does. Good work.

I don't know about ugly, but I do my best to make things fly off the lathe in pieces whenever possible. HATE when that happens ;]. Thanks for the comment Ken!

I like this one, I can only seem to get sharp angles on accentric goblets. I can't get lovely curvy centres like this. Nice work Don Thumbs Up!

it's gor me thinking of how to do it.....:d

Ruining lots of good wood to get a few average bits.

Thanks Leo, I'm sure you'll make some nice stuff with a little practice. Like everyone else, I've made plenty of kindling, I just don't put it in the gallery!
