Goblets

Below is a collection of some of the many Goblets Tom has made. Goblets are basically fancy glasses. People ask all the time if they can drink out of these goblets. And the answer is, of course. However, it isn't recommended. These goblets are made to be beautiful decorations. The finish used is intended to make the goblet look shiny, it isn't intended to protect the wood against moisture. Dark liquids, like wine or fruit juice, will stain the finish, leaving it dull and ugly. But it's the buyer's decision whether this is their intent or not. If you do chose to drink from one of these goblets, wipe it clean with a damp cloth, and dry immediately. Never put one of these goblets into dishwater, or even worse: a dishwasher! The status of each item is listed (ie, whether it's available or not). If you see something you like, but it isn't available any longer, don't fear! Most items can be custom ordered. However, be forewarned, it's rarely possible to duplicate something exactly. But Tom will do his best to replicate what you see in the picture, as closely as possible.
