Made these stoppers for my daughter inlaw's step dad's 50th birthday. Then decided they needed a display stand. Stoppers are ekki wood, cherry, celtic knot is purple heart. The bottle is maple with a cherry base. The lettering is blood wood. Everything finished with several coats wipe on poly. Oh yeh, I even put a real cork in the bottle :D.

Congratulations! Very clever and unique. I love it! The stoppers are great in my opinion. To me so many people make them too big. I like the size of yours and the shapes.

That is truly an amazing idea! Very well executed as well. The shape of the wine bottle is very realistic.

Neat idea. You could always put another stopper in the bottle instead of a cork! :rolleyes:
