How I turn Quaichs on the pole lathe - Greenwoodworking

A quaich is a traditional drinking cup from Scotland, typically turned or carved from wood with two, sometimes four handles.
I don't think people usually make them this wee.
It's a fun challenge to turn what is basically a tiny bowl without compromising the finish or proportions. I'd recommend it!
Happy turning.
If you're not sure what a pole lathe is, check out some of my earlier videos in this playlist!

I loved the small catch and the whispered frustration that I could only hear with headphones on! 😂. I’m not the only one that does that! Really great video! I loved it!

Really cool to see this on a pole lathe!! Great work, thanks for sharing 👏😁

[@jones_trees_and_treen]

Thanks!

Beautiful result, love the fact that you can see the light through it.

[@jones_trees_and_treen]

Partly due to the thinness, partly to it being green, partly the timber (Casuarina). It's more important that the opacity is consistent - shows even wall thickness.

@@jones_trees_and_treen Was ist Islam?
🔴 Der Islam ist nicht einfach eine weitere Religion.
🔵 Es ist dieselbe Botschaft, die von Moses, Jesus und Abraham verkündet wurde.
🔴 Islam bedeutet wörtlich: 👇
‘Gottergebenheit’, und er lehrt uns, eine direkte Verbindung mit Gott zu haben.
🔵 Er erinnert uns daran, dass seit Gott uns geschaffen hat, keiner angebetet werden sollte, außer Gott Allein.
🔴 Er lehrt uns auch, dass Gott nicht wie ein menschliches Wesen ist oder wie irgendetwas, das wir uns vorstellen können.
🔵 Das Konzept von Gott wird im Qur´an folgendermaßen zusammen gefasst:
📖 „Sprich: "Er ist Allah, ein Einziger; Gott, der Absolute (ewig Unabhängige, von Dem alles abhängt). Er zeugt nicht und ist nicht gezeugt worden und Ihm ebenbürtig ist keiner." (Qur´an 112:1-4) 📚
🔴 Muslim zu werden, bedeutet nicht, Jesus den Rücken zu kehren.
🔵 Es ist eher eine Rückkehr zu den ursprünglichen Lehren von Jesus und ihm zu gehorchen

I’m glad you showed that. These bowls are so cute and look fun to turn. I need to make a few.

Cute! Like a shot glass version, good practice as well

[@jones_trees_and_treen]

I'm never going to drink a large cup of any spirit so this seems an appropriate size to me 😂🤠

[@HuronSpoonCo]

Amazing work Julian. I’m going to have to get one of these before you run out of that amazing wood!

[@jones_trees_and_treen]

Haha, thanks mate. I've got six available and no more sheoak, as it stands.

@@jones_trees_and_treen 🔴 What Is Islam?
🔴 Islam is not just another religion.
🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham.
🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God.
🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone.
🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine.
🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as:
📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4) 📚
🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus.
🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.
