Start of the Herd..

[gary Zimmel]

Good Day to the Turners of the Creek.

As it seems xmas is coming quickly I figured a couple of stoppers on a maple stand would make nice gifts.
Here is the start of the herd. About 15 more and then it will be on to the stands.
Cocobolo with friction wax.

I hope my jointer, planer, and table saw still work to do the stands....
Hope everyone had a little shop time this weekend.

...a couple of stoppers on a maple stand ...the start of the herd.

Gary, every good herd starts with some good broodstock! Well done, here, and looks like you are well on your way to another nice batch. I remember the last time you did the Christmas stopper marathon. A dangerous place for a piece of 2"x2" stock - especially cocobolo!!

Gary - they all look great! Nice variety of styles! Looking forward to seeing the finished versions (stands) and all! Have fun!

[James Roberts]

Looks like a nice bunch..er..herd of stoppers there Gary, sounds like you're planning a holiday stampede. Great work, love the look of cocobolo.

[David E Keller]

Beautiful stoppers especially in 'herd' form. I love the variety, and the finish looks great on every one.

[Curt Fuller]

Can't ever go wrong with cocobolo. I really like the shapes you've done. I'm inspired (gonna copy them).

[William Hutchinson]

Great looking stoppers that will be well received.

[Paul Douglass]

Those are some real nice ones. Cocobolo always looks so rich. Have you ever made the Glinter style stoppers? I want to give them a try. I have some of the kits.

Thanks for all the comments everyone.
Paul, not to sure what the Glinter style stoppers are. Where did you get yours?
