Project Description
I bought my topper kits about a year and a half ago. I made my first topper a couple months back when I was tring to figure out the process with my friend Rosco. I had made this blank to be part of another segmented pen, but got to thinking that it was just about the right size to make a topper also. There are about 120 +/- pieces of walnut, maple, bloodwood and sapele in this piece. I used the same CA/BLO finish on the topper that I use on my pens. The stopper top is about 2-1/4” tall.
Other segmented wine bottle stoppers I have created and posted here at Lumberjocks

Great idea. Also a real way to use those small pieces of expensive hard woods I often save from other projects.
I have made a lot of bottle stoppers but your laminated pieces is a new idea I will have to play with.

Beautiful!!!!
May I ask how you created the interface between the bottom of the wooden piece and the top of the metal stopper. If your stopper is like mine, the top of the stopper is not flat. Did you make a simple relief cut or contour the wooden surface?
Thanks

Those segments are so small! Wow. Your eyes must be tired when you get done cutting and gluing. Great job!

thank you all for the kind words.
I think the segments are fairly managable during the glue-up phase. There are eight pieces per layer. I’m looking into bumping that to a higher number, but I fear that is when I may need to check myself in the mental institution!!
Lew, if I understand your question correctly both ends of my blank start out flat. I drilled an 11/32” hole about 3/4” deep prior to threading the hole. I didn’t do anything else to the end that meets the stopper hardware. The very top of the wooden section is concave (like a really small bowl) to eliminate the dimple created by the tailstock. that make any sense?
