Interesting you would ask such a random question! I suppose there could be several answers to this question though… but here’s mine.
if you arrange them just so, they will look a little like this:
This project has pretty much consumed me for the majority of this year. I’m not complaining though. I’ve learned a ton about myself while putting these bottle stoppers together.
I’m currnently in the process of ensuring that the next time I post 2299 segments after turing there are far fewer bottle stoppers displayed!
Stay tuned!

I’m not sure if you’ve posted this before, but do you have a blog or walk through describing the process/jigs you use to cut these blanks?

here’s one where I show some of the glue up process: http://lumberjocks.com/darryl/blog/5258
I just updated my tablesaw sled last week to allow for more flexible segment cutting. I’ve got to tweak it a little, but after that I can post a pic or two.

Darryl, I am amazed at your perseverence and patience in dealing with all these small parts. And nice job of turning as well.

Love the humor almost as much as the stoppers. Nice job (on both!)
