Marc, you used your ten stoppers well!! They all look good both in shape and finish.
I may "steal" a couple of those shapes :biggrin:.
Thanks for showing

:RockOn: Marc; I like the fact that you not only changed woods, but you also changed styles when you made the stoppers. Shows that you are creative and open minded. Nice job!!! Jim S

Hey Marc,

Those are really nice. About the only thing I'd say is the pointed ones may not be as popular just because you can't as easily press them into the wine bottle. But that's not a criticism on your work, only what I've heard. I think wine stoppers are fun because there are no real rules to the design.

pointed stoppers

Thanks for the heads up Bob. I found that with the aid of a 16 oz hammer they go in quite easily. Getting them out is another story..

as they say,,,if it jams, force it..if it breaks, it needed to be replaced anyway

cheers,

marc
