    Bottlestoppers

    Here are a couple different bottlestopper profiles. I turned these last night for two of my staff at work. Cocobolo w/ Mylands 3-part finish (just substituted the carnuba for Ren-wax)

    Critiques welcome! Thanks for looking . . . jeff

    Cocobolo seems to make great stoppers. Nice details and a great finish.

    Jeff, there are some of the profiles on bottle stoppers that just don't do it for me, but I like these - kind of classy looking.

    Look good to me. I tend to like "user" stoppers with wide tops. Easier to use. Coco looks great on stoppers.

    Thanks all. I really appreciate your positive comments. And . . . my staff appeared to like them (they could have just been being polite however, hard to tell )

    I too like the cocobolo for turning stoppers and pens -- it is my favorite.
