Having been inspired so many times by all of the very talented members here, I thought I would push myself to try and create more involved/interesting wine bottle stopper designs. For this one, I added an open segmentation detail. I'm pretty happy with how it came out. It definately would have been easier to have three hands when trying to put this together!

I didn't attach the top two layers until I had turned the inside giving me a fat 1/8" wall thickness. That was certainly the most nerve wracking part of the project.

Here's a picture more focused on the details.

I would like to work on making the open segments a little closer to the same size. there is a little more variation than I would like.

any comments or critiques would be greatly appreciated.

Darryl, that's seriously KEWL! But, I'm confused...can you show me that on the bottle please? I'm having trouble picturing where the parts are. ;-)
