Excellent work Ed, I love the goblets...

 Outstanding work Ed. One question, how did you form/straighten out the horn for the goblets?


  Thanks, Tim C.

Thanks all just trying out new things other then the normal stuff.. Tim these were turn from solid tips, like I said you can straighten the tips ..but the amount of work that goes into it is not worth it you have to make cones to fit each tip.. heat and reheat the horn so much that sometime it splits or just becomes way to brittle i think I get one good one out of every three I try so just easier to find good solid tips ... this week now that kids are back in school just working on bags and a couple horns and some more suprises..

Very nice work.  How are the bases of the goblets attached?

The goblets are truly eye catching!!  Pardon my poor pun and it is meant as a compliment as I could not help but think, "Now there is a man really into his cups."
