Members, thanks for looking.  I was given a pile of freshly cut walnut branches a while ago, and had two choices:  let them dry and probably never use them; or make stuff.  You all know me well enough that I am sort of addicted to making stuff while awaiting the demise of the virus so...

Long story short, one of the last pieces of the walnut branches had a crotch with three limbs growing out of it.  So I cut the limbs off and left the part where they branches off.  Mounted them on a screw chuck and turned a thin stemmed goblet.  Left the stem fairly thick because of the walnut wood pith which would greatly weaken a thinner stem as it is prone to cracking.  I hollowed the goblet part almost to the cambium, that can be seen showing through on the inside.  I left the screw chuck hole so it would help dry the base as it is a good sized chunk of wet wood I did not want to have split during drying.  Several coats of poly and a buff with a shop made grit, mineral oil and beeswax mixture and finished!

Thanks for reading, let?s get some comments going.
