Here are a few wine bottle stoppers that I turned recently. Of these ten stoppers six are made of Cocobolo and four are made of Zebrawood and all are done in the ‘flame’ style. I found that this seems to be the most popular shape.<\/p>\n

Wine Stoppers<\/div>\n

I was inspired to make these after my daughter requested stoppers for her three female friends from work (the four guys got pens<\/a>) which she wanted to give as gifts when she finished up her summer work term.<\/p>\n

It had been a while since I turned any wine stoppers so it took a bit of practice on some scrap wood to get the feel and motion to getting the curve just right. <\/p>\n

There were a couple of changes since my last foray into turning stoppers, most notably the switch to the chrome base instead of the cork base. I believe that the chrome base adds an air of elegance and when combined with an exotic wood makes for very attractive pieces.<\/p>\n

The other change was that I used a mandrel specially designed for doing wine stoppers. I found that this sped the process up greatly and used less wood as well.<\/p>\n
