Two Goblets for First Communion

[Chrisjan]

Made these two goblets from what I perceive to be Camphor wood... The smell while turning is unmistakably and the grain looks like the pictures Bob Wemm posted the other day in the Wood ID contest. Finished with CA - they are to be engraved and then I will buff to get the last marks out...

These need to be used for the young members (my Sunday school class last year) who are to use their first Holy Communion in the congregation coming Sunday... Still need to do the plates fro the bread...

Nice job, they look really good.

They're beautiful, like the shapes and the wood grains and for a great school activity.

Keeping those knots in tact at the top must have caused you concern. It would, me.

Well done Chris! What a great idea!

 

[Chrisjan]

You bet John... lots of CA... sharp tools and nerves of steel... thinking its gonna fly out any moment

Nice work Chris, those knots add a lot to the looks. CA was a good choice for a finish I think. Waterproof and durable. Must have used a lot.

Two bottles in total - But I think the most were wasted on the two plates... I think they are dishwasherproof now!

Will post details on the plates on Monday
