Long stemmed Goblets

These are four long stemmed goblets. All the stems are made from Holly, which is turned to 4mm diameter at the thinnest, the heads are made from various woods, such as padauk, sonokling, purpleheart and cherry. They range from 12.5" to 9.5" tall. These were inspired by Alan Carter a highly acclaimed american woodturner. 

I will be demonstrating how to make these Goblets for the Highland Woodturners on the 13th June 2013 at their venue in Munlochy on the Black Isle, near Inverness.
