Thread: Another small turning

    Another small turning

    Here is a small maple cup turned about 1/8th inch thick, 3" diameter and 3 1/4" tall. Notice the little split on the foot. This didn't show up until I had made the base a little thinner. Finished with shellac. Don't know why but the curve appears to have a flat spot about half way down the bowl part. It is not there in real life and it doesn't show up in the other picture.

    Very nice, Don. Good form. And you're doing wonderfully on the photography, too...
