Making a Wine Bottle Stopper |
There are several ways to make a wine bottle stopper. This is an example using a Pattern Bar (see pattern bar tutorial). |

|
The pattern bar was cut in half from corner to corner using a tile saw with a lapidary blade. This creates two bars, triangular in cross section. |
|
Here are some sections cut from a different pattern bar. You need a section about 2 1/2" long. |
|
The section was ground and polished on a lapidary wheel.
A wet belt sander would work also. |
|
The bar has been glued to the stopper base with GE Silicone II Glue. |
