Wooden Wine Goblets
Woodturner's Special
From
1982 to 1985, a series of wooden wine goblets were made. Porcelain cups
were installed in the wooden goblets - these were made to be used for
drinking. Wooden bases are solid, not glued. Color and grain on many are
excellent. Nearly totally water-resistant, can be hand-washed.
Here are 12 pieces that were not finished or not
shipped. One problem with the series is that the shape of the insert
rendered them fragile if the piece fell over.
Suggestion:
fabricate pewter, brass, or blown glass inserts with a tulip shape that
does not contact surface in case of tipping.
All pieces are sanded
and oil finished. A cleaning with fine sanding and oil finish is
recommended.
