I've been looking for a way to do some Bottle Stoppers in a way that was a little more professional than what I've seen at carving shows. I wanted them to be able to "stand alone" as individual pieces in case someone just wanted a couple and not a collection. I think I've figured out a way to do it and thought you might like to see how it was done. This method certainly worked for me as the first person in my shop after I started the project bought both of them before they were even put together.-
Anyway, it's quite easy to do and building your own bottle cutting rig like I did will save you about $30 over a commercial one.

Let me know what you think about these two. I'm really interested in your input. Lots of instructions and photos in the gallery.
Thats an idea Lynn and of course done in your great style.

That's a great idea Lynn and I was just wondering today what to do with the Granny head I carved.

Lynn, you continue to amaze me for someone who did not go beyond the third grade as I heard that the school you attended had a rule that when you reached your nineteen birthday you had to leave school. Anyway, another super idea that is so much better than having all those "junky" bottles standing around with "bottle stopper heads." You are so generous in sharing your ideas. Speaking of "Granny", my "Granny is 98 years old and does not use glasses..........she drinks right from the bottle." Keep the ideas flowing and "My Old Reliable always be sharp and the chips knee high." Don
