Pear and Beech Goblets

Made a couple of goblets to use at a week-long historical reenactment event. The one on the left is made from pear wood, the one on the right is beech. Both finished with walnut oil, and lined with beeswax. The pear goblet couldn't take the temperature changes from being filled with cold liquids and cracked. The beech one worked great, and I still use it regularly.

Very nice work. These goblets look more inviting to drink from than the usual "more decorative" ones you usually see. I guess now you know why beech is used for just about everything in the kitchen

Thanks Ed. That was the idea - I got tired of breaking glass and ceramic cups while camping, and wanted to make something sturdy that I didn't have to worry about, and would be pretty at the same time without being overly fancy.
