    Default Matched pair of Goblets

    Hi folks, been a while since I popped anything up to the forum.

    So here are a matched pair of Spalted Beech Wedding Goblets, each has two captive rings (turned with a skew). They stand 280mm (11") high and 65mm (2 5/8") across the widest part of the cups.

    C&C welcomed and thanks for looking,

    I always thought the third ring was suffer.......

    Nice goblets, I have enough trouble turning one, let along a matched pair
    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
