Osage Orange Bottle Stopper Blank

Osage Orange is one of the most distinctive timbers available to the woodturner — its vivid golden-yellow to bright orange colour is truly eye-catching, and it finishes to a lustrous, almost glowing surface. One of the hardest and densest North American hardwoods, it turns beautifully and holds fine detail with ease, making it an outstanding choice for a bottle stopper of real character.

Pre-cut to bottle stopper blank size and ready for the lathe — simply mount, turn, and finish.
