Charity Bottlestoppers

[Cwalker935]

I help organize a small memorial golf tournament to raise education funds for the daughter of a coworker who passed away from lung cancer. He died shortly after she was born and we hold the tournament to help her connect with him in some small way. I usually make prizes for the winning foursome. This year's prizes are Bottlestoppers. Two spalted red oak, one cherry and one camphor. The camphor has some very nice grain.

That piece of camphor is part of the waste from a roughed out bowl blank, wonder what my next camphor project will be?

Those are some very nice bottle stoppers. You're not the only one who likes the grain in the camphor one. Good prizes and a great cause.

The rain held off and our little tournament was a success. With this years take added to previous years we have managed to raise over $24,000 for Madeline's education. Decent start since she is now 6. The winners seemed to appreciate the Bottlestoppers. Thinking about using this image to make divot tools for next year but am not sure if it will work when reduced to a 1" disk.
