Might be just me but that looks a bit top heavy.

Good turning and finish though.

I did intend shaping it a bit more but kept taking divits out of it so stopped when I got a smooth finish on it also the colours were really nice it seemed a shame to turn half of it away.

I know what you mean about stopping trying to shape good looking blanks like this one TM, it is on the big side but better to have a stopper with a great looking blank than to wish you had stopped turning it when the big chunk falls out of it .. :thumbs:

You will find the bottle with your top on it from across the room mate why not make a statement at the same time as you have I like the strength of purpose in the design.

Very funky stopper. I think the colour of the blank out weighs it being (maybe) slightly oversized :thumbs:
