Cool captured rings!

Good lookin' goblets there mac.

I assume it is acceptable to fill said goblets with your favorite beverage?

Thanks, Barry... way too labor intensive to sell down here... My wife says "$200
or I keep it!"

It should be, Lee.. they're all wet sanded with Danish oil and buffed...
I've never actually sold anything but a wedding goblet that anyone planned to
actually drink out of, though..

OOh - nice chatoyance (sp) on the ringed goblet. Do they have a good
poly finish on 'em or what? I presume they're turned for use.

Nice job...

Kind of funny... I didn't know what "fiddleback" was and when I started rough
sanding that goblet I thought that I was revealing tearout!
I sent a picture to Chuck, who sent me the wood, and he mentioned chatoyance and
that the rings around the goblet were SUPPOSED to be there...
I'd never seen anything like that before, especially running at a right angle to
the grain..

Just wet sanded with Danish oil, with a final rub on coat.. then buffed..

I presume they're turned for use.
Only the wedding goblet, and then just once..lol
Theoretically, the Oil and carnauba wax should be food safe.. probably alcohol
safe, but they're pretty much decorations..

As I told the client that I'm doing the cocobolo goblets for, at over $100 each,
he could buy his sister some really nice crystal if she was going to drink out
of them..
I think he's giving them to her for Christmas, to be displayed at a winery that
they're opening next year..

Nice job...

Thank you... that means quite a bit, coming from you..
