Turning of the week for June 17th, is Dave Landers' "simple goblet". There was some discussion about the proper descriptive words used to describe it......but, I believe @Bill Boehme called it best....it's simply elegant! :)

In Dave's words.....it is: "Box elder burl, dyed. About 10” high, bowl is about 3” diameter. Dyed (India Ink) maple stem. Lacquer finish."

Hi Dave - Congrats on your Simple Goblet getting chosen for the TOTW !
 
Very nice! “Simply elegant” is correct! It’s beautiful in its simple graceful lines - not ‘overworked’… something to aspire to, indeed.
