Thanks for all the greetings guys, I really appreciate it.
My company gives us a holiday on our bday, so I spent a little time in the shop. I'm making a set of 12 bottle stoppers for our church's Oktoberfest auction & I cranked out a couple more today.
I'm halfway through the project now - a "Bottle" stopper from Purpleheart, a Mushroom from Spalted Hackberry, a Hot Air Balloon from laminated Maple & Padauk, a Whiskey Barrel from Black Palm, and a couple of random shaped stoppers from Spalted Sycamore & Spectraply.
