Hi all… I have been turning a few bottle stoppers for Christmas gifts lately, and unfortunately I ran out of stoppers, so I am piling up the tops for them LOL.
This one was unique enough I thought I would post it.
It is a piece of Padauk turned in the shape of an apple, and a small twig soaked in CA glue is glued into a hole I bored into the top.
I think this will be an appropriate gift for my Mother-in-law who happens to be a Kindergarten teacher.
