Default Bottle Stoppers
These are my first 3 attempts at the Pete LeClair style Bottle Stoppers, after starting back to carving after a 20 yr lay off I'm finding the process challenging. I started back the first of this year and have completed 28 projects from little people to Santas and have to tell you I'm having a ball. Thanks for looking and please comment! Good and Bad!

The twenty year layoff didn't seem to hurt you a bit, they all look fantastic!
