Bottle Stoppers!

Post by SimeonTurner »

I've been horsing around this fall with bottle stoppers, and it's actually been quite fun. They make an inexpensive stocking stuffer idea for folks who like wine, and since the wood/stopper kit together is typically about 5 bucks, I thought it would be an easy way to make some extra Christmas money for my kids' gifts.

Here's a few recent ones I've cranked out. Lousy iPhone pictures, but you get the idea.

It's a fun distraction from pipe making, and working some of the softer woods sure is refreshing after turning briar all day! LOL
