Goblets

Because More Woodturning is printed in black and white on newsprint many photographs that were originally in full color do not show the objects as well as desired. We have been requested to show such photographs here at our website. This is the first batch of such pictures. These are from the Gallery of Goblets in the June 1998 issue.

 

This selection of goblets are from my wedding goblet series. Each wedding goblet has two loose rings to symbolize the rings of the wedding and the joining of two people together. The goblet on the left has only one loose ring, I broke one ring. I promoted it as a goblet to show what you can do if the marriage doesn't work, you break one of the rings.

 

This tiny goblet is compared to a quarter for size relationship. These tiny goblets are great sellers to miniature collectors in the $3.00 to $5.00 price range.

 

This group of goblets are from my drunken goblet series. They were turned from green wood and allowed to declare themselves. They are different, but not best sellers.

 

This rather "plain Jane" goblet is turned from Black Locust. The stem is a bit thick and the foot a little heavy. Otherwise it was a fine goblet with thin walls in the bowl. A little more careful work on the stem and foot would have made it a much better goblet. It is included to show that these things do make a difference.
