Toasting Glasses In Bocote (Wedding And 5th Year Anniversary)
Glasses turned on a lathe from a single block of Bocote to be used for the toasts at the celebration of 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 six inches high and one and one-half 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

Great service
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 Custom Wood Wine Glasses for Fifth Wedding Anniversary5.0Jim worked with me to design and create two custom wooden wine glasses for my fifth wedding anniversary. After working with Jim and receiving the finished product, I can genuinely say I was AMAZED with his friendly demeanor, helpful dialogue and completed project. He was a joy to work with and helped me through the process and was very open and honest as we finalized the look and design. Once decided, he was timely and prompt in finishing the product. And, saving the best for last, the final wine glasses were incredible!! They were extremely well done, high quality, and looked exactly as I thought they were and as Jim said they would look. We have used them several times now, and they are holding up very well. I will definitely be looking to work with Jim again in the future, as it was a genuine pleasure.

For Acorn Engagement Ring Box5.0Perfect. The box is exactly what I wanted. Working with Jim was easy and straightforward. He said what he was going to do and then he did what he said. That's the way things should be done. Thanks Jim.
