New Bottle Stoppers
« on: February 27, 2014, 08:29:41 PM »
Just finished a new batch of bottle stoppers... check them out:whistle1:

These beautiful wooden bottle stoppers start out as 1/16" veneer that is dyed and glued together. The colors are most any colors in the Rainbow and then some. The stoppers are handturned on a wood lathe and then sanded and finished with 15 coats of hand rubbed MinWax Lacquer and then buffed to a nice luster and sealed with 3 coats of Carnauba wax.

The bottle stopper itself is made from food grade stainless steel by SS Niles. The three different sizes of o rings will create a seal in most any bottle.

The stoppers are approximately 1 1/4" in diameter by 3 3/8" tall and they are all one of a kind.
 They are fun to make and I like them... hope you do to.  :happy1:

Thanks Les.

I would be willing to ship to the UK, but have no idea what would be involved as far as costs or procedures in doing so. If you have an interest in my bottle stoppers I'll try to do some  research on the post requirements.

They are $25 one, but if you want more than just one I'll make you a package deal.  :azn:

I definitely want one.  Would you take a check, or M.O.? I don't care which one, they are all beautiful. How much for S&H?

Good deal BR.  :thumbup:

I sent out several singles during the Christmas Holiday and if memory serves the shipping was less than $5.
Would you like a lighter, or darker color? Let me know and I'll nail down the shipping cost (you'll only need pay the actual cost) and let you know the total.

Currently there several available, but they are in a local Boutique, so I'll go snag 2 or 3 and post pics so you can choose one.

Thanks... Ken.

Ps: Do you have PayPal? That would be the easiest, if not then a money order would work.

@Burgundyrose

OK, here you go BR.  :disturbed:

Kay stopped by the Hoarders-Boutique and picked up the four that you see in the pics below. I had asked her to pick up four so that you have several to choose from.

On the postage; it's snowing here, so I didn't check with the post office but I'm pretty sure that a small flat rate box is $5.80 so one stopper will be $30.00 shipped, or if you want two or more the shipping is free.

I really like the darker looking one, I believe the colors are purple and black. I will take just one for now. I do have paypal, I just need a couple of days for a transfer to go through into that account.  :)

Good deal  :thumbup:
When you are ready shoot me a PM with the email address on your PayPal account and I generate an invoice for you. Make sure your shipping details are correct in PayPal, or you can include a shipping address in your PM.

Ps: Numbers have been added to my post with the pictures so that we can more easily identify the correct stopper.

Hmmm, I like the red shape but the blue color. Do special orders cost double? LOL j/k

Yesss!   :hah!:

Actually I will be offering special orders, but the delivery time would be extended to 2-3 weeks to allow for the time required for ordering and receiving the supplies. Once my orders start to be steady and the stoppers and wood can be stockpiled that wait would likely be only one week.
As for extra cost, it would be the same as long as the cost of the wood remained the same... some of it costs a lot of money.
