Project 93 Goblets

A couple of goblets are planned. Hopefully, I can get both from this one block so the grain matches better. I don’t do much spindle (between points with grain going in one direction) turning, but it is nice to take a break from bowls.
Rough turned each as I look to match the set.
Once I turned the blank down, I found a grub hole going from one goblet base through to the other base. I have filled with black CA glue. We will see how this turns (yes, a pun) out.
Much black CA glue was added to fill this hole. Still have more to add to where the hole comes through the bottom as well as the spots here on top.
My stead-i-rest holds the goblet while I bore the inside.

I fear the goblet stem will break under the force while the final turning and sanding it done, so I used a cup shaped live center against the inside bottom for added stability.
