    So you want to display your stoppers?

    I tried for the banzai tree look. 12 gauge copper wire - heat treated - iron stained oak for the base.

    What do you think?

    Great idea.

    It kind of looks like a bare Christmas tree though. Maybe some more stoppers or something else underneath it?

    I do like it though.

    Toney,
    Great concept and very nice stoppers. Maybe some small wine related items around the base of the tree. Like bunches of plastic grapes, oak barrels, or bottles.

    Very nice. I had something very similar in my mind...just hasn't made it out yet.
    Wood is very beautiful in tree form. Wood is very useful in burning form. I merely try to make my work honor the first, avoid the latter, and aim for the middle: beautiful and useful.

    Cool Works for me!

    Since I have never turned a bottle stopper, it is perfect! Some day I will do it just like some day I will do a segmented piece!

    When is some day?

    I really like it a lot. It shows off the stoppers easily and lets all of them be visible.

    Very original idea!!! Looks great... It does a good job of setting off that amazing display of stoppers.

    Thumbs up

    The nice thing about your display is that it allows one to see the entire stopper, nothing is hidden. My current display hides most of the metal stopper and only allows a view of the turned wood knob. I use Ruth's stoppers as well.
