Hillbilly Bottle Stopper

[Iowa Carver]

Some of you might remember that I posted a Hillbilly WIP last weekend. Well that one didnt work out so well. Ended up screwing up the body so I tossed it. Went back the next day and got to looking at the head and said... hey I can bandsaw that off and make a bottle stopper so here it is... the Hillbilly Plan B

Thanks for looking as always.

awsome job! it looks like one of those "no see'ms but i forget who does them. I have to say i remember when you first came on the message board which was shortly after i did and it is amazing to see the progress you have made keep up the good work

What did you do with the "body"?? LOL

[Iowa Carver]

Thanks guys I appreciate it. Jim, the body has become a block of wood by my sharpening stuff to test knives etc. after sharpening Have had several carvings go that route Andy this one is from a Mike Shipley pattern but I believe you are referring to Don Worley's No See'ums. The original no see um was the famous Rufus from Mr. Harold Enlow.

He makes a great bottle-stopper, Corey! Now, can you find a bottle of "white lightning" you can put him in?
