Old Yellow Heart Pine Goblet

This is the companion goblet that I made for myself to go with the heart pine plate that I posted a few days ago. Cup and base are both heart pine. I used a piece of Mt. Mahogany for the stem. I was conserving my pine for some reason. Anyway, the goblet is 3 1/8" wide x 9" tall. Cup is about 1/16" thick top to bottom. There is light that passes through in a couple of places. Finish is DO, buffed down between coats with 0000 steel wool. Must have 10-12 coats on it. Buffed with tripoli, WD, and carnuba. Finally buffed by hand with Ren wax.

The base is a tad small, but this is staying in my collection so it really matters not to me. I love it and know where it came from.

Would still like to hear your comments and your questions.

"Old Yellow Heart Pint Goblet" Will it really hold that much? Wink

I like it. It's dainty enough that the base fits.

Outstanding piece Rev. I can see all the care you put into it. Seeing as how I too am "old" might be part of the reason I like it so much...Bill..

Thanks for the comments. It probably holds just over a 1/2 pint. Happy fingers I guess. Should have known you guys wouldn't miss it though. Fixed now. 8-)
