Duplication Of A Glass

Final glass duplicated! We posted pictures of a Baccarat glass that was duplicated by Wayne Montano a few weeks ago. This is the final glass. Wayne says the hardest part was rounding the edges of what he had cut on the blank so it would not look like cut glass. The glass on the left is the example and the glass on the right is the one Wayne cut from a clear blank.
