Jim-

The wood is beautiful and you did and outstanding job of turning the pieces to bring out the grain and color. What the size and finish?

Thanks Gary! The saucer is about 7 1/2" in diameter, the cup is 4" tall and 3 1/2" in diameter. The finish is semi-gloss WOP. I had a couple of blemishes in the finish on the saucer so I went back at it with a "Beall" buff to correct it - which it did, however this gave the finish a little more gloss than the cup. The end result was pretty good and the folks at Main Street Coffee seemed to like it! :)
