This bottle stopper is made from Brazilian Tulipwood with a stainless steel droplet stopper. The droplet design weights the piece to prevent it from being top heavy. The wood has been given a water-resistant shellac and Carnauba wax finish.
Unlike the North American or Australia varieties of the same name, Brazilian tulipwood is a member of the rosewood family. The tree itself is rather small and found in only a few regions of Brazil. The grain is a swirl of pinks, yellow and light browns.
