My first attempt at doing bottle stoppers.

Yew with White/Brown Marble Acrylic.

I have turned just a few stoppers and I would think that the transition from wood to acrylic would be tough. You did an excellent job putting the two together.
 
Hello From Across The Pond,

Good job on your stoppers Andrew! [:)] Are you casting your own acrylic for the inlays? I turn lots of inlaid stoppers and I also cast my own blanks in various plastics. Just curious if you've ventured into casting? Take care and al the best to you and yours!
 
Many thanks for the comments.


Steve, i have not yet ventured into casting, we are in rented property at the moment, so not enough room for everything. Mabye when we get moved a i get my workshop built i may think about it.
 
UK,

You have done an excellent job on the stoppers. The fit and finish shows the care and expertise that went into the final product. Good work.

The yew and Acrylic is absolutely gorgeous. Keep up the good work. I need to get my materials out and try turning a bottle stopper. I like turning the T-style with the corkscrews as it is like turning a pen.
