September 28, 2009 4 Comments

Here are a few wine bottle stoppers that I turned recently. Of these ten stoppers six are made of Cocobolo and four are made of Zebrawood and all are done in the ‘flame’ style. I found that this seems to be the most popular shape. I was inspired to make these after my daughter requested [...]
