Wine Bottle Stopper

Series Listing

 

Wine bottle stoppers can make wonderful gifts for family and friends. It is also ok to keep it for yourself if you cannot bear parting with it once it is in your hands!

 

These wine bottle stopper are much more than a simple turned piece of wood. These stoppers incorporate more than 100 individual pieces that requires a three phase fabrication process. Once the contour of the form has been established, the piece is sanded with progressively finer grits of paper providing a silky surface. A durable finish is applied to ensure a lasting glossy patina.

 

The result of this process ends in the creation a one-of-a-kind piece of functional art.

 

While each individual wine bottle stopper is unique, I have created several series of wine bottle stoppers to choose from.

 

 

Patchwork 

The Patchwork series is one of my favorites. The patchwork-quilt like pattern leads to an interesting visual effect that is a perfect match when making each stopper unique.

 

Speckled 

The speckled wine bottle stoppers consist of a design using a primary wood with a secondary wood in an alternating pattern reminding me of a spotted style look. 

 

1/2 & 1/2 Twist

Like the ultimate option for a soft-serve ice cream, the 1/2 & 1/2 Twist series takes two species of wood and merges them into one beautiful bottle stopper.

 

Parallel Twist 

The parallel twist bottle stoppers have a pair of parallel stripes that wind their way from top to bottom. 

 

Special Edition 

One of the most endearing aspects of my wine bottle stoppers, for me, is that no two are the same. With the Special Edition series I take that no two the same concept one step further to create completely unique pieces.
