Stopper Commission

[kludge77]

It's always fun to get a special request from a customer. Sometimes you just have to turn it even if you don't fancy it.

This time I though the idea was pretty cool! She wanted 4 of my goblet shaped stoppers that would double as tapered candle holders.

Here's one of them. California walnut (surprise!) with a CA finish.

If anything the request simplified the turning. Normally I use a round nose scraper on the end to get a smooth bowl shape. On these, I just just drilled out a 3/4 inch hole about 1/2 deep.

And together

California Walnut, Lignum Vitate, Claro Walnut, Redheart

C&C welcome.

That does seem like an odd request to me, but seems you did a good job turning it. Looks good from my end.

Now thats different, but the customer is always right,
