A Coloured Goblet
« on: August 09, 2017, 12:17:52 PM »
Afternoon All
A small goblet, 160mm high x 75mm at its widest, did some colouring on it because the wood was very bland.
c&c welcome
All the best
Andy

Elegant is the word that springs to mind.

What did you use for the colouring & black and what finish? Whatever you used, they work.

The shape of the whole goblet: the foot, stem and bowl is excellent, and the colour is just right. The gloss finish shows it off nicely.

Exactly what is needed for a bland piece of timber.

Very nice goblet.
Like the contrast between the green goblet and stem and also on the base. The green colour makes it look like glass..

That was absolutely the right thing to do. It's a great shape, but bland wood would have detracted from it....the colour really makes it sing!

I am not a great fan of Goblets but I like this a lot it reminds me of a red Wine glass

Great shape - do you have an image of the goblet without the color so we can see the before and after ?
