Archie Zietman Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Hello. Over the next weekend or two, I will be working on making a few "Kantharos"es which are two handled greek wine goblet which I like the form of very much. The design is based off of vague memories of work I saw at Penland. Goblets will be all mild steel, handles/ears will be started from 5/16 inch mild steel bar, and the cups part will probably be 16 guage mild steel. Dimensions will vary, but all will probably have a black vegetable oil finish and be based on the same kind of vessel. The first one might take a few weekends for me to get to know what I'm doing. But I'll have the full size drawing of each kantharos right next to my forge and anvil while I work which will cut down on futzing around considerably Below are some examples of original greek ceramic kantharos styles. I'll do the rounder style first. Happy Hammering, Archie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
