Been making bottle stoppers

Looking good, I really like the shape of the blackwood one.

Yeah, shape and finish and everything ... that one is really eye-catching :thumbsup:

Looks like a flawless finish on all of them what did you use?

A few coats of Doctor's Woodshop Walnut oil/Wax/Shellac Finish.
The cocobolo and blackwood I used walnut oil as a sanding liquid to finish up to 1000 grit then cleaned with denatured alcohol (i'm sure any cleaning agent would work) to get all the sawdust off then finished with the oil/wax/shellac finish.

Nice looking stoppers, great shapes. Doctor's Woodshop finishes are nice, aren't they?

Thanks and yes, I like his finishes.

Somebody came by my house to look at a cocobolo stopper and immediately grabbed the blackwood. He also grabbed a bocote and a cocobolo. Just made me a little more tool money!

He is a man of good taste -- those are exactly the ones I would've snagged! Congratulations :thumbsup:
