    Well thanks very much Jim, but don't forget, we get to choose the camera angle......

    Got a might thin in spots on the back side.

    Soft wood is not so great for this, it flexes too much.

    Next will be some dry hard wood, but I'll have to do a glue up....


    Cheers!

    Ohhhhh....Now that's real purdy Keith!!!! I really like it and the photo.

    Bonker-Goblet

    First entry, actually first time i've made a goblet, on purpose anyway!
    I made this out of the same Mesquite log that I made my bonker from.
    I also made it to match my bonker, actually it's heavy enough to use as a
    bonker, get drunk and use it to bonk anyone that p$$es you off!
    Yep you guessed it! It's a Bonker Goblet!

    Mike....Nice Goblet! I like the dual function also! Just make sure you have consumed all you grog before you use it as a bonker! Don't want to waste good grog!

    I think I read somewhere that the Ancient Gobletinians were obsessed with grogulating. Probably why they are extinct.

    Ken - Stop looking at the floor and ponder this.

    John has confused the Ancient Gobletinians with Modern World Gobletarians. The former group - as we all know - are devout rotunderers whereas the latter are total oblongiates. And while you might believe that this is really a simple matter of perspicacious perspective, it is in fact an issue that has troubled a little documented group from the Chateaugay Wilderness area in Vermont known as the Ovaltinians. These folks only consume their chocolate flavored mead in wooden vessels turned on lathes much like the ones used by the Old Schwamb Mill in Sturbridge, Mass.

    And then there are a Creekatoids. Shall I digress?
