Cocobolo goblet

After making a few of these and giving them away as wedding goblets I had someone track me down and ask me to make one for them. Now that I've got it done I'm not sure I want to part with it. It was a really nice piece of cocobolo with a little bit of yellow sapwood. It's 7" tall and 1.75" diameter with interlocked captive rings.

A true beauty, Curt.
If it were mine, I would want to keep it too.

Thanks everyone. Nothing like cocobolo when it comes to pretty wood and also very nice to turn. With sharp tools you can get away with almost no sanding.

Maybe I'd let it go to a really special friend, but otherwise.........
