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!
