Fine stoppers, Boodrow. I like the one on the left best, though. I like the narrow "neck" and the smaller transition to the stopper.

OK! Here is mine! It is humongous because I could not bear to turn any more of this beautiful wood off. And it was a definite "eye catcher" at the craft show this last weekend. I still have not gotten back to the second one yet.

Of course it has Pine Cone on the bottom!



Another view - yes it is the same stopper



And yet another view. This stopper looks different from each direction



And I would be remiss if I did not re-post this pic from the craft show. Everyone noticed this one.

[Doug B]

Boodrow, normally I'd say something nice about your stoppers, but...they look like chit to me personally ;D

Here we go..... I'm not the happiest on the shape - but.... the wood is gorgeous!!!

A huge thanks to Scott (and E) for their work in harvesting the wood and getting this thing rolling.... lot of fun.


Zac












They are all different sides of the same stopper.

I shouldn't have cropped the pictures so much - they came out looking massive!!

Boodrow - those stoppers are MOST excellent.... Honestly - I couldn't choose between the two....maybe the one on the right.....but just maybe.

Doug - wow - that looks like you could use it to defend yourself in a dark alley! Nah, it looks great - the pine cone is a nice touch, but possibly cheating! Nah, seriously - I wouldn't have expected anything else....just like I'm sure yall were expecting BURN LINES from me....but guess what? None!

Again - I struggled with the end grain - but finally got a finished stopper. I'm happy with it, but the shape is lacking IMO. The wood seriously looks gorgeous, that's really all I can say about it.

Thanks guys - this was FUN!!

[Doug B]

I don't know what happened Zac...normally you do such a nice job on stoppers, but that one looks just as bad as those that Boodrow made ;D

[sdb777]

Doug sounds like he's going for the smack-talk.....hehehe!

You guy are a hoot!!!!

well if we are casting votes for the winner I like boodrows the best. All of them are cool and very unique but Boodrows shape in my opinion is outstanding. Good job to all three and I am glad you guys finally posted them.
