Latin translation: Seize the Wood -Turn the Wood

Stainless Steel Bottle Stoppers

    This stainless steel bottle stopper will never pit from the acids in red wine or vinegars.  It is solid stainless steel, there is no plating to chip.  It sits low in the bottle so your wood or glass design is the focal point.  It's designed to complement your work rather than compete with it.   See the picture of the cedar apple below.

 They are made of solid non-magnetic, acid corrosion resistant 304 stainless steel and are tapered so the 3 nitrile o-rings will seal various size bottles. They seal tight.  The stainless is brushed (same finish as ss appliances) but can easily be buffed to a high shine with tripoli or buffing rouge on a buffing wheel.  

  The stoppers are machined with a 1/2" high,  3/8" x 16 tpi threaded, #301, or smooth stud, #302.  The difference between the threaded and the smooth is strictly personal preference and turning procedure.  Go to the "Making a Stopper" page to see my turning process for both of these stopper designs.

This flat-top stopper is available for glass blowers, fused and cast glass artists.   E6000 epoxy is the glue most of them use.  I have been told that glue does yellow and may not be desirable under clear glass.  

This flat-top style has a 10/32 tpi threaded hole and is used by stone and tile artists and some bead workers.  It is a common thread size.  These are the same price as the # 301 with the threaded stud.

This "lollipop" design is for fused glass artists.  It has a 1 1/4" diameter circle of the same quality stainless steel as the base.   The circle is not removable.   Glass artists can do a multitude of shapes with their glass to cover the round mandrel.  *note: if a majority of glass workers feel a slight change of design would work better, it will be considered.

 Go to the "Bottle Stopper Design"  page for examples of stoppers done by various artists using each of these styles. 

These stopper bases are strictly utilitarian, the steel and o-rings are FDA grade appr'd for food contact.  They were not designed just for display, rather to be used for any length of time in a bottle of any wine or vinegar.  They seal tight in most bottles. 

They are made here in the USA in PA.         Patent Pending                   

**NEW **   SS NILES BOTTLE STOPPER MANDREL   ** NEW **

This mandrel was designed for my stoppers and is made in the USA of quality steel.   It fits a #2 morse taper and the threads are notched so they also tap the wood in one easy step and the top matches the diameter of my stoppers.
 They should be available by Aug. 1                          $ 25 ea.
