Pipes aren't the only thing you can make out of briar

I had this piece of briar break off on my lathe rendering it useless for a pipe. Turned it in to a bottle stopper...

Nice! Really neat shape there.

Nice save. It looks great in that shape.

Beautiful wood and you turned it nicely. Did you put a finish on it or just buff it?

That's a beauty.

Just a coat of friction polish. That shined it up nicely.

Great looking bottle stopper. It has very nice lines. Yes it was the prefect save.

 

[Fishinbo]

The stopper came out beautiful. Like the shape and finish. Great save on the wood.

Well done. Looks like a perfect stopper for a smokey Cabernet Sauvignon.
