Secret Santa gift

On our last trip to the wood store my daughter picks up this piece of wood from the bin. It has orange paint on one side and the other side was burned from a saw blade. It looked like a letter L and she wanted it. We get to the checkout counter and they tell her it is free and she brings it home. It made it to out picnic table and has been sitting there for 3 weeks.

Last week I got wrangled into a secret Santa at one of my clients. I found out that the person I was giving the gift to was a wine drinker. I thought I would make him a wine stopper and went to look at the chunk of wood that was still on the picnic table. I started looking at it and saw some potential. I turned this the other night and was pleased with mother natures offering. It has a half dozen coats of friction polish and two coats of Meguires car polish. I hope he likes it.
