I just got into making bottle stoppers myself. Sold 3 of the first 5 I made and they ended up at a winery in Napa Valley. They are nowhere near as nice as yours, but I keep trying new things to make them better. Great job on the stoppers. They are very beautiful and I love the first pic of the one with darker grooves in the lighter wood. I might have to try that technique for myself. Thanks for sharing the pictures and some inspiration.
Great looking stoppers Mike. (Side note--I like your quote & I actually just got in a box full of Dave Ramsey books & CD's today. Now, if only we could get our elected officials to read them!)
