I think the stainless steel is mostly just cosmetic. $92K and still climbing. I bet it breaks $120K by the time it finishes. Maybe even 150K. This is thier 8 th project 7 of which hit thier goals.

That was so good for Joe and very very happy he got it done.
 Is Joe still here or did he get to busy
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification. Thank You Everyone.
It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

For red oak, it definitely would be likely. Someone suggested cosmetics, but it seems like a lot of extra manufacturing cost for just cosmetics. I am wondering about counterbalance for resting the glass on its side. I need to look at the dimensions of the whiskey glasses with that capability.

There were two of the red oak. I did a pair, hoping that I could get one good enough to give a marvelous community-minded women who collects bone china. She seemed pleased with the other, which had a better refinement of lip and handle.

Overthinking it, I would say. The fibers would develop a permanent compression "set" after the first dozen or so cycles.
FWIW, letting the inside dry exposed directly to air and the outside stay wet against the table would cause stresses similar to those many folks have cursed when making wooden goblets. Splits happen. I elevate the bases of my turned goblets to allow circulation on both sides simultaneously. Seems to work fine.
