spare half hour

[paul-c]

finally managed to get into the garage and have a play with the new pen lathe i got from devonwoody - first time i've plugged it in since i got it 3 weeks ago ish :lol:

axminster had the blank labelled as pink ivory
this is the first bottle stopper i've turned i think it could have done with a larger diameter though.
see what you think :?:
cheers paul

I think you're right about the blank. IMHO it would look better with a bigger top end - in line with the angle of the chrome, I think. Hope that makes sense. Still like it though!

Unusual choice of form but it's workable and easily gripped. I think the size is adequate, not a fan of over large stopper tops myself, they always seem rather incongruous on top of a narrow bottle stem.

Great little stopper. I think you did the right thing by keeping it simple =D>

 

[hog&bodge]

That stopper is just right in my opinion...
Lovely finish...Very tidy job...

Looking good Paul
Love the colour and is a nice shape.

very nice paul, to say it's your first it wont be the last. bottle stoppers should be slightly larger at the point it touches the chrome.
