Something different
Love Wood Shows! Found a new toy at Jim Carroll's stand, and had to buy one to try. I used Sandalwood. The colours are great. Finished with Triple EEE and Shellawax.
Regards,
Shirley

I hate wine stoppers, why would anyone make one for, it only means you have to leave something in the bottle nice bit of wood, looks like one of those very tactile pieces, only thing why one there should be more Have fun..LB

Isn't that False Sandalwood a pleasure to turn Shirley !!! Looks great the way you've used it too.
So enough of the suspense (unless I missed something?!) - what 'big' lathe did you end up deciding on ?????

That is an elegant bottle stopper, Shirley.
Attractive wood too; of a species we do not seem to have here.

Well done, Ms Shirley. Very nice... needs to be in a bottle, though.

Hi Vern,
That is the Sandalwood that Tom ( Mongrell ) gave me out at Glen Alva. I thought it was the real stuff. The smell is heavenly. I got the Woodfast WM 910. We kept going back to it at the show so made the decision to get it, and so far have had no negatives. I feel it will do all that I need. Thanks for the comments.
Regards,
Shirley

I have to agree with Littlebuddha I do not see the point in them, if you open a bottle you should have the decency to finish it.
Despite what I just said I love turning wine stoppers they are quick and good fun and make excellent gifts for Friends. You have done a great gob with some nice timber I normally just use off cuts but that really is nice
Good luck with your new babyCheers Rum Pig
