Wine glass prototype

Love it Brody!

Have you christened it yet?
I'd love to see a pic of it with some red wine in.

Wasn't allowed a test run mate. Apparently, it's obviously going to hold wine

Lovely job Brody, is it epoxy used for fixing to the timber?

oh yes. Only good old epoxy was used for this one

I agree Padouk can be a pig on the end grain Like the design, decoration as well.

A great idea Brody. I can see a set of six all in different woods so people know which glass is there's.

I'm assuming you started out with a regular wine glass? How did you go about parting the glass from the stem?

Cheers mate. Had a couple with broken stems so made them safe on a wet stone grinder. I did play with an idea of making a jig using glass cutting wheels but I don't intend on making many. ...... famous last words eh
You can buy these ready to go from Turners Retreat too

It's a stunner and I love the chattering I am glad you had broken glasses to use as I have never seen the point in breaking a completely good wine glass to make them.

Great idea Brody. Change the wood get a bit of top glass - multiply the price by 50 and wait for some banker to buy a set of them as a dinner party conversation piece. This is not entirely a joke

Turners retreat sell the glass with a short stem for doing this
