    Coco & Bocote stoppers

    I just wanted to post these stoppers that I turned last night. The bocote has become a runner up to my love for cocobolo. Hope to see your pics as well.
    Cheers-
    Jess

    Beautiful shapes you did Jess.
    What did you use for the inlay? Was it a quarter?

    Very nice Jess! Real classy design, beautiful woods and finish! I imagine these sell out quite quickly!

    Nice job, Jess. I like stoppers that are easy to remove. Now if I can just find some time to turn..
    Where did I put that tape measure...

    Thank you! Yes, these shapes are what sell (and easy to turn out) for me.
    The set was a buffalo and Indian head nickel set.
    For the finish I simply sand from 220-400, apply EEE then take to the mini lathe for the beal buff of white diamond and carnauba wax.
    Thanks 4 looking

    Pricing

    Jess,
    Really like the shape and the finish!!
    I'm interested in how you are pricing them since we have a few wineries in the neighborhood and they have expressed some interest in having some on display, for sale.
    Appreciate your suggestions.
