Glasses turned on a lathe from a single block of Bloodwood to be used for the toasts at the celebration of wedding or a fifth anniversary. These glasses are turned in a traditional style and are fully functional. The finish on them is walnut oil and carnauba wax on the exterior and mineral oil and beeswax on the interior to make them completely usable. They stand roughly eight inches high and three inches across and, following the tradition of the Irish Wedding Goblet, each pair is made from a single solid block, both cut from the same timber. ————————————————————— KEYWORDS: wood glasses, wooden glasses, hand turned glasses, lathe turned glasses, fifth anniversary, 5th anniversary, anniversary, Irish wedding glasses, Irish glasses, toasting glasses, wooden toasting glasses, wooden anniversary glasses, wooden fifth year glasses, medieval glasses, medieval wedding, renaissance glasses, renaissance festival, wedding glasses, wedding toast, wedding toasting glasses, marriage glasses, marriage toast

This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I have been making from wood for as long as I can remember. I take a great deal of pride in my work and will not accept a commission if I am not entirely sure I can complete it to your satisfaction. ShopDog Turnery is a one-person, one-dog operation making all sorts of custom items, primarily lathe based. This includes bottle-stoppers, wine glasses (with glass or wooden bowls), platters and plates, bowls, boxes, and whatever else springs to mind.
In addition to lathe work I make various flat pieces; tables, specialty boxes, cutting boards and, again, whatever else springs to mind.
I make for the joy of the making, using sustainably harvested and reclaimed or historical woods exclusively.
Molly was the ShopDog, but is no longer with us. She did all the "RUFF" work in the turnery.

For kevin's individual wood parts for a magic wandI could not have been more pleased with the way this project turned out. This Maker was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. He was responsive, he finished faster than I expected, his rates were more than fair, his shipping was fast and his workmanship is top quality. I look forward to working with him again, and for anyone who needs a small woodworking project done, I would strongly recommend this Maker.
