my practice one - nothing like the entry one

I think it looks fantastic nev! Why don't you enter it? Is your entry one even better?

Looking forward to the day when I'm turning out rejects that good nev..!

Hells Bells, Nev, that's lovely!

Are there two identical goblets, or are you also an image wizard?

Nev,

Personally, the only thing I do not like is the "lump" around the middle of the stem - it just looks too bulbous.

Otherwise they (it?) look(s) stunning, and I would be happy to produce such quality.

Nicely done, Nev. Has a sort of mediaeval look to it.

cheers guys, only one goblet - 2 pics merged (free program - gimp =D> ), it would have been the entry but i was just not keen on the grain on the stem and foot (anything i can do to make it 'nicer'??)
so it was kept on standby til i finished another.
and yes, medieval was exactly my thoughts when i fished it, but medieval ladies i think, its only about 5" tall, cant see the sheriff of nottingham wielding it with any sense of authority :mrgreen:
