A Gaggle of Stoppers

[Raymond Overman]

A cluster lacking organization...

water oak, cherry, cherry burl, madrone burl, cocobolo, texas ebony, peach, and osage orange all using Ruth Niles stainless stoppers.

[Raymond Overman]

and the rest

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Looks like a gaggle of beauties to me Raymond! B/S are one of my favorites....quick, easy and popular!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Great looking bunch of stoppers Raymond. Well done.

[John Terefenko]

Nice flock of stoppers there. I too have Ruth's stoppers and have yet to get around to making some. I was reading somewhere and not sure where but I thought they said she come up with a different stopper or design. Did you hear anything like that???

[Steve Schlumpf]

Beautiful woods Raymond! Really like the shapes of the cherry and the madrone burl! Nice work!

[Bill Bolen]

Love the shapes Raymond. All the woods are knock outs and the finish is first rate!...Bill..

[Claude Arragon]

What a variety Raymond.
All are really nice. It looks like you've started to make launch a nice wood collection. In addition if they will ever top bottles of good wine....

[Tom Sherman]

A nice gaggle of stoppers Ray, some imagnation applied there.

[Ben Gastfriend]

I'd sure call that a gaggle! Really nice stoppers, especially the ones with the bark inclusions and NEs.

John T.,
Saw something about making a shallow counterbore in bottom of the "topper" so it kind of hunkers down over top of the bottle. Have not tried that yet, but am a fan of Ruth's stoppers.

[Glenn Hodges]

Raymond my favorite is the dark one on the right. I like the wood and form the best.

[Dan Williams]

Beautiful stoppers If I may ask. What kind of finish do U use ?

[Raymond Overman]

Dan, you may ask and I will tell you, I buff them with tripoli, white diamond, and carnuba wax then usually put a coat of past wax on buff it again.

[David Newson]

That's what I call some real nice shaped stoppers, and the different woods used are all stunning,and excellent turning skills.
