New set of Wine Glasses

[TellicoTurning]

I like to work with wine glass bulbs and set them on wood stems... had a pretty good run this summer with my collections... this is the latest... 8 oz (guestimate of size) set on Bloodwood stems.


Second photo is a slightly smaller bulb mounted on Ambrosia Maple...

Third photo is a set set on Blue and White Spectraply and when sold the buyer was headed back home to Uganda with them... she's an ex-pat that works in Uganda with her husband.

And the last set was a set of Margarita glasses set on Orange and White spectraply... figured the Tennessee Vols fans would snap them up... might have if Tennessee had had a winning season...

Now that is a blooming good idea. I love em. Good job of turning also. I assume the glass stem is recessed into the wood for a short distance.

Thank you for showing.

Bob.

This has been on my bucket list for a long time. Really like all of yours. The draw back for me, I would plan on using them, not selling, would be the dish washer would ruin them. Still a little rinsing wouldn't hurt.

Nice work. I'd never see the Spectraply used for this before. The blue and white really looks nice.

Very nice. I like the ambrosia maple set the best. BYW, where do you get the margarita glasses. I can find the wine sets, but not the margarita ones. I guess I could cur off regular margarita glasses, but I'd rather find the kits.

Beatiful work!! Now my question... did you buy the glasses with stems and break them off or can you get stemless wine glasses?

I use regular margarita glasses and cut the stems off with a dremel with a cut off disc... you can just touch the stem where ever you want it to break, hold it there about 3 seconds and it will drop off... the "kit" glasses at CSUSA are just regular glasses that they have cut the stem off and charge you $4 +/- each.

I use regular wine glasses... where ever I can find them at a reasonable price... this weekend the wife wanted to stop in at a Ross store... found 3 sets of wine glasses on sale that worked out to about $1.50 per glass.
You can buy the stemless bulbs at CSUSA but my way is cheaper.

For Bob, I have about 1/2-3/4 inch of stem recessed into the wood stem.
