Tried my hand at making a bottle stopper.
Had a box of three stainless stoppers which had screw in stainless tops. I screwed the one off and used the stem to glue inside the wood. I then mounted the whole lot onto the lathe and turned it to shape.
Being the first one there is a lot of room for improvement.
The one thing I found very difficult was fine sanding on the lathe. I tried using a small bock but that didnt work too well.
How do you bottle stopper turners do your sanding?
btw, the wood is Karee burl
Thanks for looking :wink:
