Bottle Stoppers
A bottle stopper is a small object, but one that's handled and appreciated every time a favourite bottle is opened and shared.
Each Blackburl Works bottle stopper is individually handcrafted from carefully selected hardwoods, reclaimed skateboard veneers, and naturally figured timber. Every piece is shaped by hand to highlight the beauty of the material while creating a comfortable form that feels balanced in the hand.
Designed to preserve opened bottles of wine, spirits, oils, or specialty vinegars, these stoppers combine practical function with sculptural craftsmanship. The warmth of natural wood contrasts beautifully with precision stainless steel hardware, creating an object that's equally at home on a dining table, kitchen counter, or home bar.
No two bottle stoppers are ever identical. Every grain pattern, burl figure, and reclaimed skateboard lamination is unique, ensuring each piece carries its own distinct character.
Rather than hiding inside a drawer, a handcrafted bottle stopper becomes part of the experience—an everyday object made to be used, appreciated, and passed down alongside the memories it helps create.
A layered composition shaped by contrast, movement, and natural colour.
The Meridian is hand-turned from purpleheart, yellowheart, mahogany, cherry, maple, walnut, and oak. A segmented crown brings the seven hardwoods together in shifting fields of colour and grain, while a broad band of purpleheart cuts through the centre of the form.
Rounded profiles and a deep central curve soften the segmented construction, creating a piece that changes character as it is viewed from different angles.
The result is a functional object defined by material contrast and a single, uninterrupted line of colour.
Seven woods. One continuous form.

A sculptural composition built from contrasting woods and shifting geometry.
The Keystone is hand-turned from mahogany, purpleheart, walnut, oak, padauk, and maple, arranged to create changing fields of colour, grain, and direction across the form. Deep facets cut through the segmented construction, breaking the symmetry of the turning and revealing a different composition from every angle.
A raised band divides the piece, while the pointed crown gives the stopper a distinctly architectural silhouette.
The result is an object where construction becomes decoration — no added colour, no repeated pattern, only the natural contrast of six hardwood species and the geometry of the form.

A small object shaped by movement, colour, and material history.
The Totem is hand-turned from reclaimed skateboard decks, revealing layers of dyed maple through a sculptural, undulating form. Circular details emerge across the surface while exposed laminations wrap around the piece, changing with every angle.
Finished by hand and paired with stainless steel hardware, each stopper is entirely one of a kind—the pattern, colour, and composition determined by the boards it came from.
Designed to remain on display long after the bottle is closed.

Terra is a one-of-one segmented bottle stopper shaped by hand from oak, purpleheart, yellowheart, padauk, walnut, and maple.
Six distinct hardwoods come together in an organic composition of warm earth tones, deep colour, and shifting grain. Turned into a sculptural form, the segmented construction reveals new intersections of material from every angle.
Named for the earth itself, Terra celebrates contrast, natural variation, and the character of wood—transforming carefully selected hardwoods into a small functional object worthy of display.
