| CUSTOM MADE, HAND TURNED, GOBLETS, WINE GLASSES AND CHAMPAGNE FLUTES |
| WOOD WINE GOBLET, 8" High x 2 3/4" base Turned from the trunk of a Red-tip Photinia (Photinia fraseri) shrub. This goblet has been polished with multiple coats of Carnuba Wax. I recommend that this goblet is for display/decoration at this time. I can't warrant that the goblet is truly food safe. I am still working on my finish technique so that I will be able to warrant food safe goblets soon. Item Nr: 40-551 $28.50 This goblet is currently on display at the Railroad Station Museum in Etowah, Tennessee from October 1 through December 31, 2008 |
| Looking for something different and unique for your dining table. Check out my hand turned, one of a kind goblets, wine glasses and champagne flutes. I have glass wine glasses of various sizes and champagne flutes that I have mounted on hand turned wood stems of exotic and domestic woods. On some I've taken "slats" of woods and created unusual and elegant patterns for the stems. The all wood goblets are turned from local woods to create a beautiful piece of art for your dining table or just for display. These are my first offerings, but watch this page for many more to come. |

| Care and handling of wood turned stemware: While the glass bulbs are the same as solid glass stemware, some care must be taken to preserve and protect the beautiful wood turned stems. These stems are finished with multiple coatings of a wipe-on polyurethane and with careful and normal handling last many years without requiring any refinishing. These glasses cannot be washed in a dishwasher and should be gently washed and rinsed in warm water,not extremely hot, as this will damage the wood stems. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. |
