goblet finish

Hi Marc How about nothing at all for a finish ?? works just fine, unless you happen to use something like red Oak. You put an oil finish in there and you will drink it, lacker isn't very good if you like to drink alcohol out of it. You could use shellack to seal it, or as I have done a few times CA. I still prefer nothing in there for a finish. Have fun and take care Leo Van Der Loo

Not shellac--it's soluble in alcohol. A layer of clear epoxy ought to do it, though. Leo van der Stadt (the other Leo.)

You might look at the two part Polymer called Envirotex Lite or the other two consumer coatings found here.

as leo said, virtually any epoxy or two part polyurethane will do the trick

Envirotex is what I use for goblets, mazers (drinking bowls) and such. A friend uses a black two part finish for his stave built mugs, but I don't recall the product name right now

Hi Other Leo, (maker of light)

Yes of course it is , Don't know what I was thinking there, but sure goofed on that one, sorry guys.

For centuries though and still today, drinking vessels didn't/don't have any coating in them, they work just fine without any.

Have fun and take care Leo Van Der Loo
