Elm burr bottle stoppers

[Walter]

Today I mostly be turnin' bottle stoppers.

Finished with melamine lacquer and microcrystalline wax.

C&C welcome

They are lovely Walter, almost look retro. Well turned as always.

Nice. Do you turn the beads or have a bead forming tool? Are you using a skew?

They are very nice....What do you use one for?


Do you mean there is something left in a bottle before going to bed?:

Lol

Bit of both Terry. The ones on the stopper on the left with five equal beads were done with a bead forming tool to ensure they were exactly the same. the others were done with a skew.

I don't really know Kevin. I have never needed one but people seem to buy them.

Very nice Walter mate. They’re something that I’ve looked at loads of times but never got round to turning. Must have a go.

Nice Walter but most people I know drink the wine in one go not me though I don't drink any more.

Nice bit of turning. Finished pieces shout quality. Would be a nice way of using up some burr offcuts as well.
