Something very different

[Mrs Woodpecker]

Hi Everyone,
We are off on hols tomorrow for 2 weeks. Have not told Vern yet, but hope to call and see him on the way home on Aug 16th. We are going to a wedding on Sept 13th, and I did these for the Bride and Groom, ( they are rellies so they won't be too picky I hope ) I know they are not totally perfect, though I tried so hard. The wood is Olive and the goblets came from the States. I love them, and can't wait to make some more.
Cheers to you all. Heading to Roma, Charleville, Tambo, Longreach so hope I can get some wood while in those areas.
Cheers,
Shirley

Thet look really great Shirley :2tsup:

I've done something similar using glasses from the opp shop - $1 each, I just brake off the base. I then also use the base as a pen stand, so nothing goes to waist.

I agree, don't be hard on your self they look great. From one old F... to another it's great to see someone enjoy their hobby and getting on with life.

Hi Shirley, very neat, the husband of a American female penfriend of me made them too.
After seeing his glass goblets with wooden stem which I liked very much, I had in a cabinet a familiar glass goblet, so I decided to make one for myself. What kind of glue did you use?
Enclose a picture of my version for you, was a big fun!!

I used Bostik epoxy bond suitable for wood and glass.

Looking forward to catching up again Shirley - will try and make sure I'm here.
The goblets look great :2tsup: What do the stems look like before you glue them in????

Very nice, I like the way the lines flow, Shirley. :2tsup:

The pic is a bit blurry, what's the motto on the decal? Any special meaning to it?

Vern, I will bring the instructions with me. I did not follow them to the letter as I did not like the shape - looked a bit too " stuck on " to me.
Regards, Shirley

Very nice, Shirley. I've seen a few of them, but they always gave me the willies about strength. I just consulted CSUSA's catalog, though, and they say there's a straight glass stem to fit into the timber stem. Much relieved.

Best wishes to the new family.

Good one from Ad, too. Zooming the image didn't help me either, Skew.
