Needed a little break from both pens and the furniture projects I'm currently working on, so I made some stoppers yesterday. They got assembled today after the finish cured.
Two pictures showing the two sides. Finish was a quick wipe of a mix of BLO/DNA/Shellac, followed by spray shellac, then a couple coats of semi-gloss spray lacquer.
From left to right:
Elm Burl
Russian Olive Burl
Curly Camphor
Bigleaf Maple Burl
Honey Locust Burl
The Camphor is from trimming a Camphor Crotch bowl blank round. Instead of making it a short stopper, I left the curved portion on the top and sanded it by hand. It's my favorite of the grouping.
