Play time
« on: September 06, 2013, 09:38:24 PM »
Been hard at it all week making things other people wanted so finished the day playing. This is a goblet head from one that snapped at sometime (I keep a box of bits like that) with a walnut stem turned seperately, 3mm dia.The whole thing is 595mm tall. Not sure if you class it as a natural edge goblet or a trembleur LOL. Totally useless but good therapy after a week of commissions.

Just a natural edge goblet .. BUT a very impressive one at that. Without the calculator what's the Olde English size.

3mm = 1/8" 595mm = 23 1/2" to be more precise LOL
