Turning old spools into new bottle stoppers
I've found old wooden spools to be a good medium for carving faces. The spools here are carved then soaked in BLO. I've attached these to pre-shaped corks with dowels and glue. It turns out these guys are just the right size for bottle stoppers, and will wait patiently upside-down while you top off your glass.

VERY neat!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gorges! I've got more spools around, so I'll have to carve up some more of these guys.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE 'em! About the most clever idea I've seen in some time!
