    Those are some good looking stoppers. I really like the third one with the one bead.

    If at first you don't succeed, look in the trash for the instructions.

    Those are great! I really like the alves one. Please share your finish process. I just turned my first stoppers and used Deft as a wipe-on. It works ok, but I'm not getting enough shine. I'd be curious to know what you are using.
