Bocote bottle stopper

[armyturner]

I finally got around to turning another stopper tonight. I know that the pic has too much dark in it, I should have used a lighter background.

The picture looks fine. The lighter grain is popping off real nice. Nice stopper, I have yet to make one. You're making me want to give it a shot now.

That looks like cocobolo to me, but certainly a nice stopper! []

Nice work! What are you using for a finish?

Agreed - very pretty stopper, but it doesn't look like Bocote to me. More like Cocobolo or "Rosewood" (yes, I know Bocote is a rosewood too). BTW, nice pic of your arm! []

Nice looking stopper[]

Very nice.

I was thinking that it looked like cocobolo too. I have two types of bocote and neither look like that. Nice stopper though. I just love them.

I think that you all are right about it not being bocote. I had a piece of bocote out before I turned this. I believe, though I could be mistaken, that it is a piece of asian rosewood.
