Wine Bottle Stoppers - Hand Carved & Turned Wood
Everyone prefers a different style of wine bottle stopper. Some prefer a thick bottle stopper that can easily be gripped to remove it from the bottle. Others prefer a medium diameter bottle stopper that is in proportion with the wine bottle. Some like short wine bottle stoppers, others like tall, almost chess-piece like bottle stoppers. You will find all shapes and sizes of bottle stoppers on our wine bottle stoppers catalog pages. We've even got hand carved Santa bottle stoppers for something really unique. If you don't see something you like - e-mail us or keep checking back!
Segmented
wood wine bottle stoppers are the perfect gift for any wine lover! Our
wine bottle
stoppers are not painted or stained - they feature
natural colors! Using bits of lumber from other projects, Tom adds slices
of exotic woods and creates glued blocks. A hole is drilled and an oak dowel is
glued into the block. The dowel serves two purposes. First, it is
fastened into the lathe chuck to hold the wood as the bottle stopper
is turned.
Second, the cork is fastened onto the dowel. This means that your cork
will not snap off. If you've ever had
a wine bottle stopper break you realize how annoying that can be.
We guarantee our
wine bottle stopper corks won't
snap off!
Remember, all of the colors you see on our wood bottle stoppers are natural - no stains are used. Tom also uses no patterns - and since the woods are scraps, the segmented blocks are never the same.

Our wine bottle stoppers fit the average wine
bottle to help protect your favorite wine.
Crafty Owl bottle stoppers also work and
look great on gourmet vinegar, oil and decor jars.
Our wine bottle stoppers come packaged in a poly bag with custom header that

the woods used in the creation of these tiny works of wine art!
Wine Bottle Stopper Display Racks:

The Barrel
Stave Bottle Stopper Display Rack
As a wine barrel carver, Tom ends up with a lot of barrel staves.
As a result, he has found some creative uses for them. One bottle stopper
collector asked if Tom could make a display rack so he could proudly show his
collection of wine bottle stoppers instead of tossing them in a drawer. Thus - this rack was
created.
The stave of a wine barrel is a perfect wine bottle stopper display rack! The underside still features the dark stain of the wine and the oak offers its handsome strength drawing your eye to the display. Our current display racks offer room for five wine bottle stoppers.
We offer you three ways to purchase this display rack:

The Oak Wine Bottle Stopper Display Rack
The
oak rack is very similar to the rack above, except it uses a piece of red oak
wood instead of a barrel stave. The look is similar to the barrel stave
rack and provides a nice elegant display for the collector. These racks
are not considered a stock item - but your rack will ship
within two weeks of ordering. If you are in a hurry, please e-mail before
placing your order to see if we can accommodate your schedule.

Our two tier racks feature a wide oak base with solid oak doweling raising the racks to height.
