Frank Bowers turned a long stemmed goblet involving 3 components.  He began with the stem using a less expensive piece of cherry so it wouldn't be as painful if it broke.  The base and the cup were turned from cocobolo.  The audience was on the edge of their seats as Frank turned the 10 inch stem from tail stock to head stock down to 1/8" in small increments.  For the last inch of the stem, there wasn't a word said by the 40 people in attendance.  At the end the finshed piece was awarded via a raffle drawing to Jack Morse.
