Maple & Purpleheart Bottle stopper with a cherry accent.

Even though these were my High School colors, (well, purple and white – Go Panthers! – but you get the point.) I wondered if this wood combination would work. It wasn’t until I saw the two of these woods stacked together at my “local” Woodcraft when I knew it would go perfectly.

Approx 5” from top to tip, the stainless steel hardware has a low center of gravity to keep it well seated in the bottle. Plus, it is milled from one piece of stainless steel, and will never corrode, pit or flake off, as is common with chrome plated stoppers.

The wood is finished with several coats of walnut oil.

This is the 7th project in my 30 projects in 30 days challenge
