This great topper can be customized for a variety of uses. Reduce the pattern to
make a bottle stopper—the perfect gift for wine enthusiasts.
Because of their size, cane toppers make great weekend projects. The small
investments of wood and time make them ideal for gift giving.
This Saint Nick topper focuses on facial features, allowing you to hone your
skills for larger projects. It also gives you the opportunity to try out new
painting or antiquing techniques. Starting with a rough-out gives you a head
start on the project.
