Some of my bottle stoppers

I love making these and with some little velvet bags from Penn State they make very nice gifts.

I need to work on my photo set up a bit,

one more. I made about a dozen last year, but did not take pictures for which I am sorry

Nice bottle stoppers, I've been thinking about those. I like the holder for it, too. Haven't seen that before.

Like the new idea with the holder. See some laminated wood and wondering what the other wood is? I see several brands of stoppers, so you have a favorite yet? Nice work.

Those are some good looking stoppers. Really well done. As a side note and this comes from feedback. I stay away from the pointy ones on top because some of my customers said they don't like it when they put he stopper in it pokes the hand. Just a thought.

Thanks for the kind words. My perference are the short stainless, but I have been buying whatever is on sale.

The laminate is maple, walnut, paduk. I still have lots to learn on getting the layer right next to each other, that was my last blank from this glue up so I am looking forward to the next batch.

Nice variety of stoppers! The stopper holder - that one is a first for me! Great idea!
