In this class Ray will allow students to bring in projects from this past year they have not completed to get assistance on them before starting the new year's line up.
In this class, students will create an elegant natural edge goblet made from three separate components: a natural edge bowl, a turned stem, and a base. The bowl is turned from a 6” diameter by 4” deep side-grain blank to preserve the bark edge, creating a beautiful organic rim. The 10” × 2” spindle-oriented stem is shaped to provide balance and flow, while the 4½” × 2” side-grain base completes the form and provides stability. Participants will learn proper mounting techniques, shaping with bowl and spindle gouges, refining curves with scrapers and a skew, sanding techniques, and finishing with matte black and clear satin lacquer. The class will also cover safe tool use, sharpening, and methods for fitting the three components together to create a balanced finished piece. Students should bring the required turning tools, sanding supplies, chucking equipment, and finishing materials listed for the class. This project is a great opportunity to practice both bowl and spindle turning while creating a striking natural edge form.
