I bought Ruth's kit 2 years ago and never made a stopper. I really enjoyed it. I like the fact that you don't "waste" as much material. Her stoppers are really outstanding and she is a lovely person..just spoke to her today.
Anyway, I am pleased. You should know that every bead, cove, curve (I don't know what the curves are called) are the result of making a mistake with my roughing gouge and spindlemaster. I would tear-out a section by accident and smooth it out. I was getting catches like crazy.
I also decided to ditch the black background and use a clean white t-shirt rag.
I think this pic isn't as bad as usual.
