    Default GlassBBQ's adventures in boro barware

    So about a month ago, I started dabbling with boro barware. Started when I collaborated with a friend and made a couple belt buckle flasks. I was also inspired by Stroker's illuminati decatur set and Matt Tyner's soft glass and boro pint glasses. Here's a photo dump in order of progression.

    10mm. a little bit comes out, but you have to shake it to do that. But it's a factory fitting for the male, and a handmade female.

    Thanks Jay and parks. I need to revisit the decanter set.

    Well this isn't barware, but it's an urn I made for my cat Gonzo. He passed about 2 years ago.

    Absinthe glass. Cobalt top, double fumed. So I cooked in the first layer of fume, then hit the top and bottom with another layer after it was done. Digging the green that came out. Stem is a daisy tube twisted and still hollow.

    That's some pretty decent barware. I really like that last absinthe glass. The blues and greens on it are sweet.
