Joan those look great… I hope you are ready for long sleepless nights because you just won’t want to turn off the lathe. What are the wood types?

Thanks for the comments. The first one is cherry, then cocobolo, and finally maple. All just pieces of scrape wood. No waste here. LOL

Nicely done. I like the wood types and think that in the right bottle, would make a great gift. Do you run your own WWing business? You could give those out with your logo, or name burned on it. Gift for the wedding party? A lot of potential with those.

Thanks everyone for looking.
Christopher, I’m just a beginner but have thought about someday soon asking some of the local specialty shops about carrying some of the bottle stoppers and pens. I’d like to try the metal stoppers next. Plus I need to build up my confidence a little more before I try the public. But I am totally enjoying learning.
