Turning Time in 2009

[Bodrighy]

Very clever Chas, how did you do the teaspoon? Be interesting to turn some like the ones we got from out chickens today. Sort of elongated. Not at all egg shaped

Is the brown part of the cup glued into the base or just slotted?

pete

Separate pieces Pete, egg cup is sat in a 35mm X 4mm recess.

Very nice Chas
What finish have you put on them :?:

 

[CHJ]

.......What finish have you put on them :?:

Wipe on Melamine Paul.

That eggs impressive Chas :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

That's what comes from leading a Shell-tered life :lol: .

Why the gap between cup and 'shell collection area' it'll get yokey y'know

Because my turning ain't accurate enough to do half a dozen at a time that would all be a mix and match push fit.

I'm afraid recipient will have to give them a wipe with a damp cloth after use, remit is for them to be semi-stackable as separates to save storage space.

Very clever Chas, how did you do the teaspoon?

Used my Uri Geller Gouge. :roll:

I think B is my favourite.

 

[cornucopia]

yep B closely followed by A for me Chas

 

[Jenx]

C, then D for me Chas, but they're ALL good ...
looks like the 'copying' is going well !!!

 

[Lightweeder]

I like 'D'. For me, cup and saucer would have to match, and breakfast is a light, cheery time - that's just my view, of course :?

Me too. :wink:

Well Chas we have all had a look at them here and we prefer the matching woods better,with the plainer D (Beech is it :?: ) one getting the vote.
I think that the contrasting woods are too much of a contrast.Might be better with perhaps just the rims of the cup and plate having a darker/lighter wood to give the contrast.
All very nice though

Oyii!! if you don't mind, making a couple of dozen to the same size is bad enough without adding trimmings.

Must admit though that there are a couple of glued up blanks along those lines lying around somewhere. :lol:

 

[BMac]

B then A for me but they all look good.

 

[johnny.t.]

A looks best to me but theres something nice about a mix and match set

I thought you'd like the idea Chas :lol:

 

[stevebuk]

All look great chas, but D for me, can just imagine my egg running down the side of that cup, hmmm.

 

[tulsk]

I prefer D and then maybe A. To my eye the contrast in the others is too stark when the surface areas of the 2 respective components are so similar. Just my taste of course, there's nothing wrong with any of them; nice work.
Cheers John

 

[Bodrighy]

Toss up between B & A for me. D is really nice but somehow doesn't have the same appeal.
My hats off to you in the copying.
Pete

 

[Santos]

Brilliant work, think I’d have to go for B.
