Have searched but not found a source for stainless steel teardrop shaped bottle stoppers. Is that because they do not exist? Thought the teardrop shape would be better suited to stay in a bottle, but could easily be wrong.

Chris,

Is this http://www.woodturnerscatalog.com/store/Projects___Bottle_Stoppers___Droplet_Bottle_Stoppe r___droplet_stop?Args= what you are seeking? They also have them in stainless steel.

Many thanks Ken...was looking everywhere but the obvious. Now I can add these to the pens, yoyos and other stuff for friends and family in a few months. I will need to call them though; seems they list only the plated stoppers. They have some 'splainin' to do.

Thanks again. Will check A.S. also. Glad to see the several sizes for more options. Now to get to the wood store; have not seen many chucks available lately in the sales dept.

Uh Folks.....

I use Ruth's SS stoppers but the OP wanted teardrop shaped. That is the only reason I didn't mention Ruth's.

Oh, I know about Ruths...and will order the standard from her. But as noted, am also looking for the teardrop; seems they might have less probability to tip....wanted to try them out of curiosity.
