Lend Me A Hand

Posts Tagged ‘dining room’

There are many stemware aficionados who love pottery wine goblets and with an excellent justification – they are a delight to use and they make fine gifts.  But wooden wine goblets could be a great addition to your up-coming dinner party instead.  Wood adds warmth and texture to any setting. So why use those common glasses when a beautiful wooden wine goblet could surely be a great conversion starter at your dinner party?

Quality wooden goblets are made from a section of wood that is placed on a lathe. A lathe is a tool that spins wood as it cuts it. By using a single and small piece of wood it means that there is no gluing needed and the finished piece will undoubtedly be very strong. Usually the wooden goblet is treated with a staining product so as to obtain the color you want. It is then also treated with some sort of food safe product to seal it to protect the goblet from the wine. This is also to prevent ingestion of any harmful traces in the wood from coming in contact with your body.

Handcrafted wine goblets are more of an investment but are the most beautiful by far. You can find them at local craft shows as well as at traders online. They can make your wooden goblets in the size that you specify. However, you have to keep in mind that not all handmade goblets are likely be exactly the same size. This only adds to the uniqueness and charm of the glasses.

Care should be taken when washing your new wooden wine goblets. These goblets, as well as most wooden products, cannot be cleaned in your dishwasher as the high heat will damage and cause them to age over time. Use lukewarm water and a mild detergent to hand wash and dry them thoroughly after each use. Choose a wood that matches your decor and no one will notice the centerpiece!
