Gareth demonstrated turning a goblet from Black Walnut. Prior to the demo he turned the blank to a cylinder and added a tenon. He mounted the blank and first used a round nosed scraper to hollow the bowl of the goblet. From there he used a bowl gouge and spindel gouge to shape the outside of the bowl and turn the stem, then a parting tool to cut the piece off from the base of the blank.

Kelvin demonstrated the use of a Bowl Saver / Coring System to obtain more than one bowl or platter from a single blank. He used the Woodcut Max 3 system that has 3 different sized cutting knives. He had two blanks that had previously been roughed out and had a tenon turned on the base of each.​
