Flower Butterfly Bottle stopper.

[preprius]

Since I ordered bottle stoppers, I had to come up with different handle design. Different from the cat lid opener from a previous post. 

I chose a yellow butterfly on a redish flower, because wine gives people butterflies.  Well I think that is why they drink it.

Maybe it is the oil and vinager that attracted the butterfly. Oh well, this is for my neighbor.  She can make up her own story. 

Wood used:

Red gum 3/4"

Yellow heart 1/4"

Food safe finish. Shellac first , then Carnuba wax, butcher block conditioner.

Found Johnson paste wax. Did not use oily butcher block.
