Good Morning and Merry Christmas to all,
I just got a makeshift photo booth set up so I could post decent looking pictures so here is the latest,and last for a while, in my journey through nearly 50 stoppers.
Thanks for looking and comments/critiques are welcome,
Jerry

Ken,
I use Minwax Antique Oil and apply it like regular poly instead of buffing it off after a few minutes and put on however many coats it takes till I like the effect, usually no less than 4.

Very nice collection and I love the finish. Do you give then away as gifts or are you able to sell them? I'd bet people would be willing to pay a few bucks for them.

Merry Christmas,

Greg

Very nice work Jerry! Love the contrasting woods and your great finishes! I am sure these would sell very well!

Thanks all for the nice comments.
As far as sales go, I only sell them at a craft fair hosted by our commuity woodshop; an ordinary craft fair is too much work. I am told the they sell well but other than the woodshop sale, they're given away. LOML gives them away faster than I can make them!:)
