Standing Strong - Display Goblet

Have you ever wanted to own a piece of wood-turned art that has been sculpted for your entertainment? All of my pieces have been made with the love and passion I have for nature and unlocking the beauty within the materials I use. Each Harry Smith original leaves my workshop with a part of my soul embedded in it, my favourite part is making a piece of wood something it was always meant to be, art.
 
I love working with Yew but didn't know how I wanted this piece to look before I started to get into the turn. Yew always has such amazing character and I wanted to try something a little different, which is why I added the 4 "legs" in the middle of the piece. I hope they become some point a talking point and the focus of this piece, I especially like the differences in finish between the two areas, and how natural they look compared to the top and bottom sections. The piece has been sanded to 1000 grit and finished with Danish oil, sanding sealer, and wood wax.
 
This piece is approxmently: 295 x 100mm

Products: My pieces are made from mostly natural materials, these may warp, crack or disfigure during their lifetime. This is natural and often unavoidable; however, I try my best to hold my pieces for 28 days to allow them to settle, and for me to make a judgement on if they are acceptable to sell (I have very high standards).
The photos shown are taken immediately after finishing the piece, please bear in mind that the finish may slightly dull over time, and cracks may appear, but all pieces are individual and will dry and/or settle differently. If you want a current picture of the piece, please email me before purchasing.
All of my pieces are intended for display purposes, please consult me before buying if you intend to use any of them to do anything other than make your home look fabulous.
If have any questions please contact me before purchasing.
