Project Information
Forget Darryl's, several hundred piece stoppers, this is only two pieces of wood (not ten, oh how much fun would that be?). Maple and Walnut. Glued, cut, cut cut cut, (flipped between each cut), glued in a slightly asymmetrical diagonal pattern. Drilled and turned into a nearly 6" stopper from top to tip.
The stainless steel hardware has a low center of gravity to keep it well seated in the bottle. The hardware is milled from one piece of stainless steel, and thus will never corrode or flake off, as is common with chrome plated stoppers. (I love these stoppers. I've tossed too many chrome ones that started flaking into the bottle on day two of use.)
The wood is finished with several coats of walnut oil.
This is the 5th project in my 30 projects in 30 days challenge
