Kwila Cup

 

I was fossicking about in amongst my boxes of off-cuts, and found a bit of kwila left over from a project years and years ago. I carved it down to roughly cylindrical, slapped it on the lathe, and made this little cup.

It is very little, only 50mm in diameter and 40mm tall. I don't know what it would be useful for, other than looking at. It might serve as a whisky bowl or something, though I don't know how good kwila is for that sort of purpose.

I gave it a stepped bowled bottom so that it would catch the light a bit more interestingly than would a flat or fully bowled bottom.
