These items are from a variety of commissions.  Perhaps my favorite to make are the wedding glasses, either with or without the intertwined rings.  There is a challenge to making a glass from wood, and a particular challenge to getting the rings turned just right so that they can be linked.

Comments from the persons for whom these items were created:

October 15 2013 for the project All wood toasting glasses for bride and groom
I loved working with Jim! What a talented, kind man. He kept me posted the entire time and I felt like I was working with someone I had known a long time. I asked Jim to make my daughters toasting glasses for her wedding. My only regret was not discussing size. I felt they turned out too small (but that's maybe because I drink wine from a HUGE glass). BUT my daughter loved them and is so happy with the results! That's all a mother could ask for, right?! I have to mention that upon my concerns I mentioned to Jim, he was willing to (without cost to me) correct my issue and make me new glasses. But that was not necessary, due to my daughters delight with her toasting glasses. Thank you Jim for making these special gifts for our daughters wedding!!
