Been sorting out photos and came across these two. Forgotten about them. Sold first time out at a show just before Christmas 2010. They both measured 13" tall with 6" diameter bowls

Pete,

if they sold that fast, why have you not made any more?

Thank you George. Brian, I have made others as big but the pyrography makes them labour intensive and so a lot mlore expensive to make so I have kept them plain. They still sell well but I focus on the medieval style ones as I bget a good price for a lot less work. Ones like this

Nice couple of goblets, Pete. Tell me, is that the original "Pete's Dragon", 'cos if it is, you've got a claim against the Disney foundation....best of luck with pursuing it! ;)

All these goblets are very nice, Pete. I love the Celtic theme pyrography, especially the dragon. Malcolm.

Thank you all. The medieval goblets are usually around the 10" tall mark and vary in size of the bowl dependiong on the design. The inset cabuchons are all semi precious stones.
