Default Latest bottlestopper
Here are some photos of my latest bottlestopper. It's to be part of a gift to a Navy Master Chief upon his retirement - you can probably guess what the rest of the gift is...

Marci...try a hardware store or wine suply store in your area; but your right, corks are almost non existant. I recycle wine bottle corks, which aren't cork anymore either.
