The youngest is getting married next year and I’m Making two goblets with captured rings. Started this morning and look at this dang crack. I have a whole lot of wood still to remove right there. I’m thinking Titebond.
What did you do in your shop today?

You’re making pieces that will have two lifetimes of special meaning. IMO the cracks are severe and in the most critical place, if they don’t turn away throw them away and start over. You have plenty of time and the kids deserve your very best.
Titebond won't fill cracks and needs wood to wood contact for a good bond. If you think the crack will turn away, I'd soak it with thin CA to penetrate followed by medium to fill the crack. If it won't turn away, I agree with John.
Or.... mix a bunch of fine sawdust from that goblet with some epoxy and fill the cracks that way. Done well, you have to look real hard to see the repair.
Thanks for the feedback. I’m pretty sure by the time I turn it down to pencil size it will destruct no matter what I do
are those hubcaps?
Yea..left is off a Carmen Ghia, probably around a 1960. Right is off my GF's 1972 Ford F100.
Been making just a couple bottle openers for a customer....
That’s awesome!!
WOW. That customer really likes his beer!
Seriously though, is that some kind of medical thing?

Use it wrong and you might need medical attention.....
Nope, just the Ruth Niles opener for the gift catalog for the Alumni group.
Acid staining
UH ... Wane, you're saying you did this on purpose?
please come do our driveway. How about concrete foundation walls? Being vertical, would it still work or would the process need to be adjusted due to vertical? By the way, LOOKS GREAT!!!
Given Paul's comment, it instantly reminded me of the sandstone here in this region of Colorado, specifically Garden of the Gods

Lol...it's all the craze now! Get with it man :)
Next few days I'll seal it with an acrylic. Enhances the colors and should gloss it up a bit. Although the flat mate is appealing to me also.
