Sorry I forgot to put that in there. It's just sanded smooth up to 1000 grit, then Friction Polish I got from CSUSA. 3 coats. Thanks, glad you like them.How do you finish your stoppers? They always look like glass.
Thanks Jim. Yeah, I've used CA in the past, and like it. These are for my cousin, who does not like CA on wood.Pretty cool Chuck!! You can always use them for vinegars and oil too! I haven't had good luck with friction polish wearing well on stoppers, they roll around, get handled a lot. Since they're small...CA works good too.
Yeah, I've seen those Sulli. Considered it, but not sold on them yet. I may try one some day. Thanks!hi
Chuck if you are concerned about height, check out Capt Eddie on youtube, he recently did a bottle stopper with the metal cone, recessed inside the turned top. very cool., i am going to try one soon myself. i always thought the ones i made would never fit inside a fridge either.

You're welcome Scott. Yeah, he must have over 150 videos, as they are numbered. Have fun.Here's your example #147 Knit Hat bottlestopper - YouTube
I must have passed over that one 20 times. Thanks!
I've made a few of Ruth's stoppers. I'm curious how Capt'n Eddie is going to get enough leverage on that stopper to get it fully screwed in. Ruth's stoppers are dead on and make a seriously nice fit.
Thanks for sharing, because that give me a bunch of ideas!
Thanks Robert. I'm really not a stopper guy, but I'm learning more as I go. I made these with my Woodchuck Pen Pro. But yeah, I think less material is the answer. I appreciate the help.I like the shapes and finish Chuck. If you're concerned about height, why not just scale them down. They'd look cool about half that size.
I don't use them, I just make them for others. :biggrin:Nope, once the bottle is open the stopper just keeps the flys out.
Thanks. You might as well go ahead and turn them. I really like the way it cuts, and it turns really slick, and smooth.That olive wood is very pretty!
And I really like the color of the dyed one.
I have two BOW blanks, but haven't cut into them yet.
