Wine bottle stopper for my friend Malcolm

[Mike Minto]

A friend of mine, quite the wine connoisseur (and fortunately for me, beer snob) is having surgery on his eye(s) over a span of time - the first date being tax day, of all days - he said it was 15 Apr or 1 Apr, and he wanted to avoid that :eek:! Anyway, a quick project of Cocobolo, 2 wheel buffed, on a Ruth Niles stopper; will apply Renaissance wax before shipping. Malcolm's a big fella, 6'8", so there's not always anything left in the bottle :p, but it'll look pretty on his bar when not in use.

That's a beauty Mike! You buddy will cherish it.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Beautiful Mike. He is going to love it.

[Jim McFarland]

Nice looking stopper -- well done!

[Ted Calver]

Very nice Mike. Best wishes to Malcom for a successful operation and speedy recovery.

Mike - great looking stopper! Pretty wood and I really like the detail work! Your friend will love it!

[John Keeton]

Mike, a really GOOD friend would give him a few bottles of wine with that stopper!!:D:D

Nice work, and cocobolo is hard to beat.

[David E Keller]

Pretty wood and a nice large shape to fit in his big hands! Nice gesture.

Nice job on the stopper!
