Woodturning - Ironwood Goblet

[@piratetaylor29]

The juxtaposition of the delicate goblet atop the live edge wood base is dynamite. Well done. 👍🏻🇺🇸

Love your videos Phil. I just got my first lathe and you are my favorite teacher here! Don't be too hard on your self. I laughed when you said : "you're probably all laughing at me right now". I laughed at your comment, definitely not at your work, it's an amazing piece of art and gives me loads of inspiration.

[@donaldadams5342]

Phil, you have NO need to doubt yourself & your woodturning. It was hard wood & different wood but your approach to your woodturning & your desire to expose the beauty within a piece of wood, regardless of its size & shape, leaves little room for doubt that you will succeed in producing a 'thing of beauty'. An 'artist ' creates apiece because THEY WANT TO, not because someone places a set requirement on. Be bold & resolute using your skills, which are abundant, produce your piece then let other people decide if they like it or don't like. As long as YOU, the artist - woodturner likes it that is what 's most important. That being the case I am sure that the majority of people who view it are going to like it & most of those people are, like me, going to love it. Your a great woodturner & don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Different for you, sure it was but it turned out to be a delightful 'emerging goblet. Well done my friend. Stay safe & well & keep them coming. Don

We love the contrast between “this is kind of what I started with” at the bottom and “this is what you can do if you really apply yourself” at the top. And the colour is just amazing - so rich and chocolatey.

My wife and I go and dig out iron wood stumps out of the ground. What looks like old rotting wood is an amazing treasure every time I cut a new pice. Some are brown like youe some are almost black and occasionally we get some that shimers like gold. Awsome job thanks for sharing.

[@stephanieruggles7783]

Phil you got one thing wrong: me laufhing at you. On the contrary: I truly admire that you made the brave decision on trying to go out of your comfort zone with turning a goblet. Especially with that kind of very hard wood. I had my own share of going out of my comfort zone so I exactly know how it feels. The grain of the wood looks awesome. For me a goblet is never easy to make. So congratulations on this project! Awesome.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks for that, Stephanie! I was pretty sure the wood was going to be worth anything I had to go through to help it shine a bit. 😊

Well Phil. You did a marvelous job. There were a few moments where I wanted to give you an attitude adjustment for your opinions of your ideas and self doubt . You ARE an artist no matter what you think about yourself. Yes the wood is the show but like a potterer that manipulates the clay - the wood is in your capable hands. Beautiful stunning creation

Thank you Judith, I like it, too!

[@Aaah-Mazn-Creations]

Your goblet for not having faith in your spindle turning method turned out GREAT. You didn't need a blueprint for it. EXCELLENT as always. YOU reminded us when you were sanding the end of the goblet you were talking about sanding lightly . Too much sanding will cause friction of the paper heating the wood which may cause the wood to weaken and the splits may get bigger. Good job!!!! KEEP ON TURNING

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Howard! I love this piece, it still sits right up front! 😊

Good evening, Phil. I like it. The wood as amazing. Very glad you settled on the shape, it is exactly correct. I may have used the detail tool and created a ring to form the base of the cup as it sets on the log. That may not look 'emerging' but that's my thought. Thumbs up, my friend.
