Long stem Goblets

[John. B]

Made from a couple of scrap pieces of Aframosia.
The long one is 250mm long, the other, 200mm.

Where's my champagne flutes John ??? :lol:

They look lovely, is that ring loose at the bottom of the taller one? I love that!

Thank you Tom,
yes the ring is loose, a practice piece to see how long a stem I could do before breaking it,
Will have to do a set of Champagne flutes. Problem is it only tastes good from glass.
AND IT IS DAMNED COLD OUT THERE

yes I agree actually, I thought that after we talked about it at Alen's. Much nicer and crisper out of glass. I imagine red wine is nice out of a wooden goblet. If I do get into turning this year, that could be a nice pressie for my Dad.

Even in my plumbed in workshop, it's too cold. I've given up doing anything except urgent stuff until spring.

Nicely shaped and looks well proportioned John

Those are brilliant. And the captive ring just sets it off without being too showy.
