That’s a nice looking stopper. I really like the wood selection and design. Off to an impressive start. 121 pieces! Nice.

A good beginning, and a good design. This is going to fun watching for the next 30 days.

Those bottle stoppers are beautiful. Might be a good way to use cut-off too. Good luck on your quest Darryl.

thank you Mike.

I’d like to say that I use all my scraps up making these segmented stoppers… but truth be told, I make a few thousand segments at a time so I’m using about 2 board feet worth of lumber with each species.

no pain, no gain!!
