I finished this a couple of months ago except for burning in the names and date. It was good that I waited as my B-I-L (Her father) has cancer and is undergoing radiation and chemo therapy. He says she moved the wedding up so that he would still be handsome and have some hair!

Goblet is about 7" tall, maple and wood burning. The layout on the knots probably took as long as turning and burning put together.
While on a trip to the wedding and to my mom's 92nd birthday I was informed that I need to make three more for nieces on my side of the family. I thought about interlocking the rings, but this maple is so hard that I felt I would have had to mar the rings to break one, so I decided not to. When I explained that to the young bride and told her she should consider these as 'unbreakable rings', she absolutely gushed...
C&C welcome.
