Wine Bottle Stopper Gift

Bill – great looking wine stopper and box. The wood shavings are a nice finishing touch.

Nice Bill. The box came out great. The super-purple PH contrasts nicely with the pine.

Thanks everyone. I really liked turning the olive wood. It was as easy as turning a bar of soap and it smelled like Sunday dinner lol

Art the box outer dimensions are 5 5/8”L x 2 3/8”W x 2 1/8”H. The pine is 1/4”. Dimensions were determined by the size of the stopper with a little extra room. It was glued up with CA. Didn’t have time to wait for yellow glue to dry ;) Took about 40-45 minutes to make, including resawing to make the stock and applying finish.

It would be nice if that purpleheart remained purple. Not sure how long it takes before it goes brown.

The contrast in woods is striking. Looks great!
