Hi,
These are made from black walnut, the tray is detachable from the table base.
The set consists of:- 3 sherry glasses,3 port glasses, 2 decanters 6 coaster with a holder. The glasses are 60mm tall
The tray rim has routed flutes (using indexing on the lathe). It is 140mm dia.
C& C welcome

That's quite a project; was it made for a specific purpose, or just for the fun of the challenge? It looks like there's some texturing on a few of the surfaces....I bet that was a challenge on such small pieces!

Hi Les and George,
The idea behind the set is, our club table for April is "A goblet" I have made a couple of normal goblets and am in the process of making a giant version.
As I made a tea set for the club competition (as posted here) I thought this would be a good idea.
I forgot to mention in the original post that the goblets (glasses) each have a captive ring.

I agree that you've created a serious amount of work, I love the table, especially the leg (but I would), and used a lot of Black Walnut creating such a wonderful display.

The only critique I'd offer is Black Walnut can take a much better finish/polish/shine than you've allowed yourself to stop at. If it's for a club (or any compaction) the finish can make all the difference.

Great work. I wouldn't have the patience. Thank you for sharing.

Hi John,
            they look to be nicely turned but I'm afraid it's not my cup of tea.
