Segmented Chop Cup by Erik Hansen

Effect: This is the most beautifully constructed chop cup I have seen. Period. This may sound gushing but I mean it. It’s solid and has a wonderfully warm feel to it. The woods it is made from are: Wenge for the base, rim, and lip, the bottom layer is Paduk (redish), mid layer is Zebra Wood, and the top layer is Lacewood. It is perfectly aligned and smooth inside and has a wonderful weight to it too. This is not a delicate cup, it is solid and begs to be used.

It’s perfect for my needs, holds a tennis ball (my favourite size final load) and matches the wand I had custom made (also by Eric.) It works just as a chop cup should. You have total control of the ball and you don’t have to bang hard to dislodge it. I have tried it with both The Ambitious Card Monkey Fist Balls and regular crochet ones and both work perfectly.
