Welcome to my page on Bottle Stopper Turning
I started wood turning in January. I enjoy wood turning. My experiences with this new hobby will be shared with others starting out. I researched this hobby for a year before purchasing my first lathe. The amount of information is overwhelming. I intend to share the basics in an easy to understand manner.
