Well the planning and procurement phase for this project has begun. The 60 champagne flutes have been ordered from Craft Supplies USA and a special thanks to Lynda Glade of CSUSA for her assistance.
Next part of the planning phase is to evaluate responses from turning stock supplies and order the turning stock.
Last piece to the puzzle is to find a local shop to etch the champagne flutes and then let the turning begin.
Stay tuned next report will hopefully be from the shop.
Cheers
Mike

The back story.
In a weak moment of fatherly love I agreed to produce the champagne flutes with turned wood stems for my our youngest daughter’s wedding in late January. She is having a modest wedding, mostly family, and the champagne flutes will be used for the toast to the bride and groom and then the guests can keep them as wedding favors.
Thanks for the comments
