Turning Simple Three Part Goblet - Low Risk - High Reward
www.AsWoodTurns.com
Of the many types of goblets that I have turned, I think
a three piece goblet is the simplest and very rewarding.
Simple: Only smaller pieces are extending out from the spindle.
Therefore, no steady rest is usually required.
Efficient: Smaller size pieces of wood can be used.
The stem does not require wasting most of a block of wood.
Pretty: The bottom of the base is easily turned and finished.
My goblet is about 8 inches tall and about 2.5 inches diameter,
finished with wipe-on poly.
Some newer viewers may wonder why I insist on wearing a face shield for safety. Please check out this video:

Enjoy.

I can easily see the advantage of making a goblet in three pieces. As you point out it lessens the probability of failure due to the slender stem. I like the use of contrasting wood also. Lots of possibilities there. Yours turned out very nice. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe. I will too.🙂🙂
Beautiful goblet Alan. I mainly make one piece goblets but have had to resort to three piece ones when the stem broke while turning. Then a three piece one is an easy repair and no one is the wiser.
Nice looking goblet, Alan.
Nice project! Will help with using up some of the scraps too!
I’ve been doing three piece goblets using a similar method but I have used a 1/2” tenon on the stem and grab hold of it using a set of pen jaws. The other difference is that I put a 1/2” mortise on the top of the stem and then epoxy in the goblet from an old wine glass.
