Cocobolo stopper - my favorite wood for this sort of thing, so far, on Ruth Niles hardware. 2 wheel buffed, renaissance wax.

Pretty wood. I must admit that I'd like a bit more shine.

Nice stopper. Everytime I see one I think about ordering some of those kits!

Mike,

I agree with you on cocobolo. It's a great turning wood -- interesting grain, color, polishes up nicely, and it takes detail very well. Having said that, as nice as cocobolo is, your turning is the star of this stopper. Very well done.

Nice job, Mike. Makes me want to get started on the kits I bought from Ruth.

Nice job on the stopper. I like that Cocobolo too, only problem I have with it is the price. Wish it was a local tree.
