Wedding Goblets

Been working on some Wedding Goblets to keep on hand as needed. These are made from some Magnolia wood that my wife's cousin husband cut down. Some of the best looking Magnolia I have seen. Inside the cup is sealed with bees wax while on the outside of the goblet I used Mahoneys Walnut Oil. I laser engrave the bride and grooms name, date of wedding and the inscription "With this ring, I thee wed" on the goblet.

Impressive and I imagine very well received, well done.

There's lots of Magnolia around here, but I've never had the chance to work with it and I've never seen anything made with Magnolia wood. Now that I see your work, I'm gonna have to get my hands on some.

Thanks for comments, appreciate them. Yes the rings are interlocked to signify the joining of the two to form the unity of one. One of the rings is literally snapped to break it, interlocked and then glued back together. If you snap the ring instead of cutting it, the joint is usually not visible.
