Gary Bingham I made 5 wine stoppers and also the bases for the stoppers to be stored in. The bases were the most challenging to make. The bases are different types of wood glued together and turned. Linda's plate is a piece of maple which Linda hand drew the writing in and I burned into the wood. The plate is 7 1/2 wide. The stoppers are made from bocote, bubinga, paduak, zebrawood and cocobola woods.
