A special gift for my parents...

[Russell Eaton]

This is a captive ring goblet that I made for my parents 50th wedding ann. I have to give a special THANKS to Constant, he helped me figure out how to do the names on the rings. I uses a local friend to do the laser work, he only lives about 10 min. away. It took about 1 1/2 hours to get it all right, that was after a computer failure when we were just getting ready to burn them. That caused us to have to start all over. The wood is Mahogany and it has a Lacquer finish. Enjoy Russell

Fantastic work, and a great gift idea!

Wait a second. Are the rings hooked to each other or separate? Because they look like they are hooked together. And that is some kind of COOL!

 

[Russell Eaton]

Yep they are hooked together.

 

[hewunch]

Awesome!!!!!

 

[Mark]

Awesome work Russel!

I love it, Russel. Those goblets are one of my best sellers during wedding season. They always want to know how I got the rings intertwined like that. The names look great too. Nice touch.

Very beautiful gift. I am sure that your parents will be touched by your gift.

Russell, I know your parents will cherrish your goblets in celebration of their 50th. Your work is very nice and the extra little details are exquisit! I have heard other say that break the captive rings to interlock them, but I don't understand how it is done. Is there any aritcles or How To's on the technique of making the interlocking rings?
