    A couple of Goblets

    I turned these for a friend that was married today. Made from Cherry 7" tall just over 2" in dia depth of cup is almost 3". The one on the left is finished with two coats of watco natural and four coats of lacquer, one on the right is finished with just 4 coats of lacquer. I know that these aren't up to Curt's standards but they are my first and second and my friend and his wife liked them so life is good. Sorry about the poor picture my photo skills are lacking severly.

    Tom, those are some beauties. I like that shape you got in the cups. I'm sure your friends will cherish those as a wedding gift. A lot more than another toaster for sure!
