In this video, I transfer the process used on recent green wood goblet to a dry wood goblet.

What is different? Usually, the turning order is: Bowl, stem, foot. However, with the recent experience, I want to change the order to: Foot, Bowl, Stem.

Unfortunately, I got into a rut and hollowed the bowl first. Then I adapted by cutting a tenon on the bowl portion in order to turn the foot. Then, I could resume the new sequence and finish the foot, then remainder of the bowl, then stem. Had I kept my wits about me, it would have been simpler. I will go at it again.

Here are links to videos describing my steady rest.
