Bottle stopper

[pittswood]

Hi guys,

Tried my first bottle stopper. It was made from a piece of used mahogany wood from the old Southbourne Hotel in Tenby. It was the worktop of the "Cosy Bar" in the guests lounge.

It is a lot darker in real life Martin, It's my fault as I had waaaay too much light when I took the photo.

Just checking, being quite new to woodworking in general I am not great at identification of different species lol, the industrial Unit I was in up untill about a year ago had a window fitting Company next door, use to raid their skip & rescued quite a few really nice bits of mahogany. One of their fitters said the wood they were ripping out was far better quality than the new stuff they were putting in lol
