Seems to be a 'thing' for me to make goblets as wedding gifts. After many 'formal' goblets I have decided to try going a bit 'organic' ranging from some that were pure flower design to this one that melds the two styles. Seems to lean a bit after turning and setting for a couple of months. I finished it last night. A light coat of rattle can lacquer buffed out with Don Pencil's PL compound and waxed with hand-buffed Ren wax.

Cherry about 7" tall.

She requested the Yin-Yang symbol which is burned in. On the photography - I seem to be getting too much light on the base - reflection off the lower edge of the light box, I think. Lighting was natural morning light filtered through the box. I think this box and backdrop are going to improve my pictures, but i need to play with it for a while. Just need a bit better camera than the fujifilm though.
