Bottle Stoppers (2)

I am often told there is no need for a wine bottle stopper as you should finish the bottle. I agree. These are for the end of the second or third bottle. ;-) These can be made with a coin of your choosing embedded in the top, giving the stopper a particularly nice appearance. I particularly like the stand for these, as with the African Blackwood one here. These stoppers all have stainless or brass food-grade tips, made by Ruth Niles. While chrome tips will eventually start to break down, leaving bits of chrome in the bottle, these will hold up indefinitely.

  • Long-time member

    A Maker who has been a valued part of this community for several years.

  • Fast shipper

    Customers say that this Maker ships promptly after completing a project.

  • Great service

    This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.

I have been making from wood for as long as I can remember. I take a great deal of pride in my work and will not accept a commission if I am not entirely sure I can complete it to your satisfaction. ShopDog Turnery is a one-person, one-dog operation making all sorts of custom items, primarily lathe based. This includes bottle-stoppers, wine glasses (with glass or wooden bowls), platters and plates, bowls, boxes, and whatever else springs to mind.

In addition to lathe work I make various flat pieces; tables, specialty boxes, cutting boards and, again, whatever else springs to mind.

I make for the joy of the making, using sustainably harvested and reclaimed or historical woods exclusively.

Molly was the ShopDog, but is no longer with us. She did all the "RUFF" work in the turnery.

    Jim made sure to keep me updated at all times about the status of the project. Prior to starting the project he notified me of his upcoming schedule for the coming months to set expectations on timeliness. During the creation project Jim adjusted designs based on feedback while still injecting some of his own artistry and creativity to make a great finished product.
