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.

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

Walk fast and look worried.
Jess, those are really nice. I like the shape of them alot. Nice comfy feel to them I bet. What kind of finish did you use on them?
John
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...
Great looking stoppers Jess. Nice shape and beautiful wood.

Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.

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
Really nice stoppers!
Those are great looking stoppers!

What! There's no coffee!!?
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.
