Luebeck Star Style Wooden cup

Turned after a historic find in Luebeck, Germany. These bowls are very cute and have been around for a long time.  This one is deep enough for a drinkinng cup and I guess mead will taste even more authentic if drunk from it.
I love turning bowls that have so much history to them and it always seems like a time-travel when on the lathe and making a copy of an original that was turned hundreds of years ago.
Living history!
Turned from Wych Elm. The tree was 250 to 300 years old and stood in Edinburgh.
