This stopper uses an Iris acrylic blank on a Berea stopper kit.

Supplies came from Bear Tooth Woods

Thanks John.

I used a tip I learned from a tutorial posted by YoYoSpin on using this stopper hardware.
Drilling a 3/4 by 3/8 deep counter-bore allows the hardware to seat deeper and give a nice transition to the stopper handle.

I agree, it is a very nice coloured blank. Very regal looking.

I don't think I've ever commented on a bottle stopper before, but you have made a really nice job with that one. The material, the finish, the shape, the photo, all very good!!
I don't think I've seen white o-rings before either. They contrast nicely with the blank.:good::good::good:

Thanks everyone. I was just winging it when I made this. The shape just happened.

@ skiprat- Thanks for the kind words. The rings are silicon.
