Last year for Christmas presents for friends and family, I turned quite a few bottle stoppers and used the Ruth Niles stainless stoppers, which are great. Since then, my wine enthusiast girlfriend has discovered the silicone stoppers that Woodcraft sells and really likes them. She wants to do more this year, both for presents and to sell at a local craft show next month. I know these things go onto tenons in the base of the stopper. My question is, how do you do the tenons? Do you turn the tenon on the base from the same wood as the stopper? Do you drill and glue in a tenon? When I was at Woodcraft and bought the stoppers, I didn't see any instructions, and since the store was very busy, I forgot to ask an assistant when I was finally able to get someone's attention about something else.
Thanks for any advice/help/suggestions,
