New stuff! - Wedding goblets

So here is a new item.  A wedding goblet.  It has two captive rings and the stem is spiral cut. 
One of these is going to my brother and sister-in-law to be (part of their wedding gift) the other (pictured right) is for sale.  The lighting makes it look like they are leaning but they are straight.  The wood is maple and the finish is food safe (walnut oil, beeswax and carnuba wax) but they are really a show piece. 
Captive rings are turned from the same piece of wood as the goblet. They are turned before the stem has been completed so they will never come off the piece.
I will be making more but the types of wood is limited since only close grain hardwoods will work with the captive rings and spiraling the stem.

Wedding goblet - $50
