OFF Center

[maxman400]

For my 2500th post I thought I would post something a little different (for me), last week I started turning off center bottle stoppers and this is my best one to date. It is clear PR with a 14 mm green Swarovski crystal, it was wet sanded to 1k, novis polished then buffed. The threaded area was reverse painted green. Turning off center is pretty cool it has it's own unique challenges, and I have a ton of ideas.
Thanks for looking, Comments welcome. :biggrin:

Looks like you drank the bottle of wine before you turned the stopper!! LOL! No seriously, it's really cool and off beat. Love the color contrast.

Interesting... I like it. It's strange knowing that it was turned on a lathe, but is not symmetrical. Definitely different.

Max, that is awesome.

Great stopper, nice work.

That's really cool. I'm surprised that an off-center turning can stand up to the torque that can be applied to bottle stoppers.

Thanks everyone for the great feed back, One tip for anyone trying this is to do all of your finish sanding on each step before you loosen the chuck. If you don't you will probably never get back in the same place and you will have to sand every thing by hand.
By the way I took this to work and the first young lady that saw it bought it, and wants some more. :biggrin:
