Seeing Dave's worthless goblet reminded my

[TellicoTurning]

of these I made last summer for a special order that never got paid for.... I had a pair on my website from Mimosa wood and a lady wanted to order a set for her and husband/fiance... she wanted 10. I quoted a price, sent an invoice and never heard from her again, but started them anyway. I finished turning them and sent reminders for payment before I completed the finish on the goblets... she had asked that they be engraved with a date and their names... still nothing, so I've finished them with a poly finish on the outside and a plexiglas finish on the inside and put them up on my website...

I had a little movement in the woods, so come of them aren't totally round still, but I think they looked okay. I didn't show all of them, just a sampling so you could see the wood coloring.

What do you think? Pros and cons?

Beautiful! I love drinking wine from wooden goblets. Much nicer, warmer feel to it.

Nicely done!

If you don't mind my asking, how did you plexiglass the inside?

If you don't mind my asking, how did you plexiglass the inside?

I make a plexiglas solution... dissolve plexi in acetone and just paint the inside of the goblets with the solution... I usually paint 4 or 5 coats....

Those are some nice looking goblets Chuck, sorry about the sales end of the story.
