I am 89% finished with my big order. I have 11 more of these tall (9" to 11") chalices to make. The Yellow one in the center is the standard shape. The rest represents variations that happened while I worked and played.
I would like your opinion on which are the most appealing to your eye. All of them have heavier stems than they would as ornamental pieces, because they are meant to be used for years as communion chalices. Your feedback will help me design the remaining pieces.
#1 & 2 - Cherry
#3 - Sapele
#4, 5, & 6 - Maple
#7 - Fern Pine (Podocarpus Gracilior)
#8 & 9 - Cherry (with the tenon still attached)
#10, 11, 12 & 13 - Beech
