Look at this new Don Alan Chop cup!








 


In my opinion, it looks great, in a weird way. It's made of the rare Buck Eye Burl hardwood, and is accented by crushed turquoise and 24kt. gold inlay. It looks beautiful, and will not be available in that wood again. Don't miss your opportunity to pick up this piece of art today!

Ketchup,
Yes that sure is a good looking Cup; I have always liked the shape of the Don Alan Cups. I can’t wait to see the new versions for 2009 that RNT2 will be introducing.
Thanks,
Bruce

Maybe it is just me, but I don't like that cup. I'm more of a shiny metal guy. I love that cup in copper or church bronze even with a chrome finish, but not wood.

Wow, it's weird looking in this photo. I've never really been attracted to a wood cup until now... I'd like to see more pictures of this cup from other angles, but I like it.

BCS:

Really! A new shape in 2009? Awesome!


Floyd:

I didn't really care for the look of it, but the more I look at it =, the more it grows on me Smiley



DDecae:

I'd love some more angles too. The part that doesn't look too good to me in the photo, is the turquoise accent that you can see in the upper right- hand portion. The turquoise, to me, is too overemphasized, and it ruins the wood- integrity of the cup. If I were to get this, I might custom order it without that turquoise, or maybe it's just the picture.

I enthusiastically agree, she's done a very unique job on this.
Somebody snatched it up - status is now SOLD. I hope we see more wood cups with gold accents or turquoise and gold accents - I think this is a great idea.
