By Jody M Aristone

If you want to brighten your dinner table with something different this year then you might want to look in to getting a nice set of wine goblets. Having good quality wine goblets on your dinner table makes a real difference to the overall feel of the meal.

When looking for wine goblets you will see that there is a wide variety available for you to choose from. You can get them made out of all kinds of different materials, but have you considered steering away from the all too common glass wine goblets and trying something like a wooden wine goblet. The feel and look of wood is amazing, and compliments serving wine very well.

To make a wine goblet from wood, a craftsman will use a lathe which is a device that rotates a block of wood at high speed. Using this technique, each goblet will have that sought after hand crafted look and feel. The grain of the wood will also add to the individuality of each piece produced.

It is certain that the wood used to make your wooden wine goblet will be one of the many varieties of hard wood available. This means that you will have a stronger wine goblet. This, coupled with using a single piece of wood for each goblet ensures you will have something that will last.

Once the goblet is turned and finished to a smooth look by sanding it will be ready for staining. The wood can be stained in a wide variety of colors, but the best looking wooden wine goblets are those that are finished with a light stain to show of the grain of the wood. Finally they will be varnished using a special coating that is food and drink safe.

When you own wooden wine goblets you need to look after them so that they will last a long time. This means that you need to clean them properly and let them dry correctly. You must not put a wooden wine goblet in the dishwasher as this will cause it to be dried out and possibly even crack from the heat.

To clean a wooden wine goblet correctly you should use a wet cloth to get rid of any dirt on the surface. You need to rinse it is luke warm water and dry with a dry non-abrasive cloth. The goblet should then be allowed to air dry but away from the sun so that it won't bleach or heat up too much.

You can see that wooden wine goblets can really add some character to a dinner setting. If you look after them properly they will last you well. You can get wine goblets made out of all kinds of different materials, but wooden ones do have a unique character to them. - 32201
