After another evening of work I have the stem roughed in and ready to begin the sanding process. The shape of the bowl looks like a brandy glass so I’ll probably name it something like “Bamboo Brandy” or “Bamboo Snifter”.  I like how there’s a slight curve to the shank.  I’ll continue that shape with a very slight downward bend to the stem once it’s ready to be heated.

I’m also pretty excited about the grain on this block. Stay tuned…
