|  Intertwined Captive Rings I tried a couple captive rings on my wood lathe a few years ago and never tried it again until this morning. But this time I tried double intertwined captive rings for the first time . I don't have a captive ring tool so I had to do the best I could with the point of a skew which made it quite tricky to do. The wood is a piece of silver birch firewood. A neighbor gave me a bunch of it a couple years ago and I had slabbed off the sides on my band saw and let it sit in a corner of my shop drying with the ends sealed with Anchorseal. I am glad I didn't burn all those pieces he gave me. This goblet will be a gift to him tomorrow morning at the coffee shop and with a bit of show and tell to all the regulars there I might get orders for one or two more. Should be a great craft sale item as well. W.Y.

| That's anice twist on the rings. I have seen them done as single rings before but not intwined.

| Bill if you want to make your own captive ring tool, you can use the blade from an old ice skate. The steel is perfect since it is tool steel. You could pick old blades up from your local arena. Once the blade is worn out for skating there is still lots of life left in it for turning. You could make thread chasers too

| Thanks Carl; Great idea . I am also getting some cool ideas from some of the wood turning sites on making my own after I was just about to buy some. Apparently they can be made from Allen wrench stock and concrete nails and even buying cheap skews at garage sales and grinding them down and shaping them into captive ring cutting tools. A left and a right one is required to cut both sides of the ring out of the same piece of wood that the goblet is being cut from. I am going to try some of those ideas. W.Y.
