Bottle stoppers

Here are some of my first tries at making bottle stoppers. Mesquite, Cherry, Zebrawood, Spectra ply and Padauk.

What size blank did you start with?

They all look nice to me.

Thanks. Mostly they are 1.5 to 2 inches square by approx 2-3 inches long.

OK. I just came into a bunch of 1.5" X 1.5" X 12" blanks. One of my neighbors had a ton of wood he's getting rid of, so he gave me a Xerox box full of these sticks.
I was hoping they're big enough to make stoppers with.

Those should work nicely for bottle stoppers with that many you can experiment with doing a Celtic knot or be creative.
