Here's a little mesquite goblet I made. 5" high, stem is 1/8" at its thinnest. Finish is spray shellac. The mesquite was very forgiving during sanding. Because of the void, I had to do a lot of hand sanding, and I was very thankful to the mesquite :)

Looks like a good job Joe. Mesquite is pretty stable and I love working with it. Looks good.
Way to go Joe! Nice one!

Looks like it will hold just the right amount of wine. Nice job Joe.

Way neat, Joe! That's got wonderful form. I wondered from the title what you meant by "dribble"; Now I know! :D Great job. :) :cool:
When I read "dribble cup" the first thing that came to mind was the Saturday Night Live skit with Dan Akroyd.
Interesting piece there, Joe. I particularly like the thin stem.
That's a lovely goblet, Joe.
Sorry, I can't call it "nice". Looks like a failure to me. Is that what they call an example of turning the inside diameter larger than the outside? :rolleyes:
Don't mind him. He obviously don't know nuttin about art. How did you get the stem so thin? Got a steady rest? NICE looking goblet.
Art is subjective. Can't fault someone for their opinions.
No, I didn't use a steady. I put some cloth in the bowl of the goblet, brought the tailstock up VERY LIGHTLY just to steady the bowl. I then took very light shearing cuts with a very sharp spindle gouge, thinning in steps from the bowl back to the foot. The idea is not to put pressure on the stem, but let the wood come to the edge to be cut.

Yes, I do know about art. A cup like that WITHOUT the big hole in the side would sell for $20.00. With a big, broken hole in it, we call it art and it sells for $1000.00. ;)Quote:
