Nice work. I would dread having to make 6 of anything that had to even remotely look alike. I really like the coloring on the plates. Thanks for sharing.

[David E Keller]

Beautiful work, Dave!

[Greg Just]

Outstanding work! I'm sure the church and it members will be thrilled with your efforts. How did you color the plates?

[Pete Jordan]

Incredible!

[Eric Holmquist]

Great idea, the plates are astounding!

[David Reed]

Beautiful work - the goblets look spectacular and all the same!!! Love the dyed plate edge.

[BILL DONAHUE]

That is absolutely beautiful work. I particularly like the colored rims of the plates and wonder just how you did them - inlayed or dyed.

BTW - those "D Way Tools" I got a couple of weeks age are fantastic, especially the tear drop tool.

[Brian Kent]

Really nice. What do you use for the inside of the chalices to help them hold wine and juice without soaking into the wood?

[Dave Schweitzer]

Bill, The rims were dyed with metal acid dyes. I used blue color to match there baptismal font bowl. Brian, The inside of the chalices has four coats of epoxy, remember in the KIngs days they just had raw wood.

[John Keeton]

Dave, that is just some beautiful work!! I love the deep color you achieved on the rims of the bread plates. What/who was your source for the metal acid dye? I have some luthier dye I have not yet used - I think it is the same type of dye.

Just curious.

BTW - those "D Way Tools" I got a couple of weeks age are fantastic, especially the tear drop tool.You are right, there! I own the diamond tool (tear drop), beading tools and a 1/2 gouge that is one of my favorites!

[Jim Adkins]

Really nice work Mr. Schweitzer, did you use Sorby tools to turn these?? Did'nt think
so!! Really like the blue MAD used on the rim of the plates, Thanks

[Steve Vaughan]

Really, really night right there! Love the color and grain and it's a great design.

[Jim Adkins]

Really nice job on all the pieces. Specially liked the blue MAD on the rims of the plates.
Thanks for posting.

[Dave Schweitzer]

Jim, I used two Trans Tint and Tandy leather dyes.
Thanks All.

[Dave Schweitzer]

Jim, Trans Tint is in most catalogs and Tandy has a web site. I used both to get the correct shade of blue.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Beautiful pieces Dave.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Stunning work on everything Dave! Love the form of the goblets and the blue on the plates! I am sure the church is going to be thrilled to receive these!
