Turned my first wine stopper today. Drilled the hole for the mandrel and mounted in the chuck. Now I cannot get the finished stopper off of the mandrel. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

When it gets cold the mandrel should shrink more than the wood and maybe it will release. -- Lew- Time traveler. Purveyor of the Universe's finest custom rolling pins.
