Has anyone ever done a martini Glass, if so how did you go about doing it?

If I were going to do it I'd turn them upside down and engrave the base.

I have done a couple hundred of them but not with my laser, I sandcarved them. It would be a lot of work to get the focus set on a glass and you would have to make multiple passes and refocus every time - what a pain! It took a bit of playing to get the text in the right curve to appear straight when you look at it head-on, but once I did it went well. I used R3 photo resist and it was quite easy to blast them. I could apply the resist, blast and cleanup about 35 per hour, charged $12.00 each.

I tried doing some really neat stemless black martini glasses, but didn't have any luck at all. Sorry
