1st Bottle Stopper...went a little crazy

[Buzzzz4]

I decided to try something a little different tonight. I had these bottle stopper sets lying around and a couple blocks of acrylic. Tapped it up and started turning. For some reason for my first one, I wanted it to be special (don't we all ). Anyway, this just kind of came out of the turning. My wife couldn't quite tell what I was aiming for, and the jury is still out. Any thoughts on it being a keeper?

WWWWWOOOOOOWWWWW. I like the wine glass on the top. It will definatly be a conversation piece.

That's a really cool bottle stopper. With the wine glass on top. I say it's a keeper.

Is that the holy grail?:biggrin:


I like the purple, and the goblet looks pretty cool.

Neat idea.

Thank you! Not quite the holy grail, but a fun time turning for sure.

i love it. but, having sold quite a few stoppers and from the feedback and personal experience, i might soften the edges just a little. remember a stopper is something that people handle with open hand. it is easier to grip and less offensive to the touch if smoother. just a little radius on the transitions would make a world of difference in the feel and not effect the look at all. that is just my opinion. other than that i love it. i have not had the nerve to make one that tall yet. beautiful job.

It kind of looks like a chess piece to me. How about a complete set for a chess drinking game?:biggrin:
