The Comic Duo

Hand-Crafted Spalted Tamarind Shot Glasses (Stabilized, One of One Pair) Dimensions: Approx. 3" tall × 1¾" diameter

This "one of one" pair is a study in raw, natural contrast and one of the most character-rich sets in the Gentry Crafted collection. Formed entirely by hand using an angle grinder and manual grit, these vessels trade the mechanical symmetry of a lathe for a tactile, organic form that follows the wood's own story.

The visual story of this pair is uncanny: on one side, the dramatic black spalting reveals bold contrasts that strikingly resemble a classic comic duo—a round-headed optimist and his sharp-tongued counterpart. On the opposite side, the grain shifts into a beautiful, abstract composition reminiscent of smoke trails or windblown ink across ancient parchment. Vacuum-stabilized for lifetime durability, these glasses represent a perfect marriage of serendipitous nature and deliberate, hand-shaped artistry.

• Finish: Sealed with polymerized walnut oil, beeswax, and carnauba wax for a smooth, food-safe luster.

• Care: Hand wash only. Refresh the finish occasionally with walnut oil or food-safe wood conditioner.

• Best For: Ideal for shared spirits with a story, or as a high-character centerpiece for a serious collector.
