Default Pete Bottlestopper

Here is my first Pete LeClair bottlestopper. This pattern was given to me along with some excellent lessons by wood-whittler at the Charlotte show. Although I have a long way to go, I feel like it turned out okay for my first one. I plan on doing several as you can modify the pattern and make it very unique.

Please let me know your thoughts! I appreciate you looking!

Thanks again Bart for the help!
Blake
