Bethlehem olive wood

[mountainrocker]

Productive day of turning! Made a couple of pens then made this bottle stopper and keychain from some Bethlehem Olive Wood I had sitting around. Nothing fancy here but had fun making them. CA finish on the stopper and hut friction on the keychain. Sorry about the crappy photo, I have got to get a decent camera at some point. Thanks for looking, now go get to turning!!

The pieces look good, so as the wood.

Where do you get the bottle stopper blanks from, in BOW...???

What tools did you use for the stopper? I'm getting into stoppers and feel like I need smaller diameter spindle gouges..

You can make stoppers with regular spindle gouges, scrapers and a skew.
