Handcrafted Mexican Red Heart Wine Bottle Stopper with Gift and Display Box
This Wine Bottle Stopper is Handcrafted with Mexican Red Heart.
Red Hart or Chakte Kok Aptly named, in some instances, freshly surfaced Redheart can be a very bright, watermelon red—though color can vary in intensity and hue from board to board: anywhere from a light orange/pink (similar to Pink Ivory), to a darker brownish red. It can sometimes look quite similar to Bloodwood, though usually with a more visible and figured grain pattern. The fine, closed grain makes this Central American hardwood machine easily & finish well. The unique brilliant red color with black undertones is unusual and unmatched in other exotic hardwoods. The Mayans refer to this hardwood as Chakte Koke.
There are no stains or dyes, but rather only a protective finish to enhance the natural wood color.
The metal portion of the stopper is FDA kitchen-grade stainless steel, which is very resistant to corrosion. The 3 O-rings will allow a snug fit in various bottle sizes, and the small profile draws the viewer to the handcrafted work instead of the metal part of the stopper. The stopper is sold with a gift and storage box.
To clean a bottle stopper, please use a damp cloth. Do not put this or any other art in your dishwasher!
