Wedding Goblet

[Mike Golka]

I was asked to make a goblet for one of the doctors LOML works with wedding. While being flattered I am also nervous. Not sure this is worthy of being a commissioned piece :o. Woods used are maple, purple heart, and teak. About 8" tall. Comments and critiques welcome.

Not sure this is worthy of being a commissioned piece
:eek:

If you're not sure of that, you must have doubts about sunrise happening tomorrow.

That's great!

[Richard Madison]

Mike,
That's seriously pretty. Very nice job keeping the blank centered. Where did you hide the purpleheart, and what finish? BTW it is a worthy piece.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Exceptionally nice goblet Mike! The lucky couple will be thrilled to receive it! Seriously, very nice work!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Mike I don't know where your doubts are coming from because that is a great looking piece worthy of a commission in my books. They are going to love it.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Mike,

I scrutinized that thing as much as I could from the photos you've posted. I think you did an excellent job. Centering that and getting it balanced. A real technical challenge. Very nicely done sir!

What did you use for a finish?

[Jim Kountz]

Well I think I speak for the rest of the forum here, ITS WORTHY!! No doubt about that at all! Outstanding job!!

[Jon Lanier]

I don't think that is worthy at all. Don't listen to these guys... what you should do is PM me so I can give you my address of where to send it. I'll study it for about 30 years or so and get back with you about improvements that are needed. :D

[Curt Fuller]

Wow, that's a beauty! The Doc is going to love that. I'm kind of scratching my head to figure out exactly how you glued that up to start with though.

[Brian Effinger]

That is very good looking. I'm sure they will be happy, because I would be. Question though - what finish did you use?

[Richard Madison]

And another nasty complaint. Not a deal breaker, but might be better if the rings were interlocked. You hadda ask. Still a very nice piece.

[Leo Van Der Loo]

Well Mike if there is anything remotely missing from this, than it is what Richard mentions, interlock the rings, other than that it looks perfect to me, beauty :D:D

[Jeff Nicol]

With the two captured rings the meaning of the goblet is perfect! Anyone would love to recieve such a special and meaningful piece!

No worries, take the money to the bank!

I'm not much of a poster, more of a looker, but I got'ta add compliments on that goblet. Nice work all the way around. Beautiful

[Toney Robertson]

Very nice. The couple will love it.

Excellent piece of work. Even though I purchased my first lathe a few months ago, my background in architectural design appreciates the form, design, and concept you displayed in this piece of art. Great job!

[Mike Golka]

Curt this is the glueup I used. The finish several coats of poly.
Thank you all for the ego boost, maybe it is worth a buck or two:confused:.

[Bill Bolen]

Makes no difference what the commision price was, it is not enough! Beautiful work. No worries, they will be delighted...Bill...

[michael gallagher]

That is very nice and unique, and will be treasured for a lifetime. Great job.

Thanks Mike. That's makes an interesting goblet.

[Keith Burns]

Nothing wrong with it. Very nice.
