A beautiful and functional piece of art, this hand-wrought steel and cork bottle stopper is a perfect addition to any wine enthusiast's collection. Completely hand-forged and crafted by hand, this piece offers the distinct beauty given to it by each hammer strike. As with all hand-forged items, the finished product will have slight differences due to the process of working the metal, making each piece truly unique.

You can add a matching corkscrew or customize a whole barware set if you like!

Please contact me for ordering personalized versions and for custom or multiple orders.

Here is the fun required disclaimer portion:

To satisfy Etsy’s ever changing policies, legal verbiage, their employee’s individual interpretations of those, or any discrepancies in any of those, and/or any core value changes Etsy may experience, it behooves Sol Forge to include these awesome common sense disclaimers about the handmade pieces that it creates and the process.

Etsy is a very large entity, and you are working directly with a small vendor, Sol Forge (the little ole forge on the farm), on Etsy’s platform. Etsy is not expected to have professional experience as a blacksmith, nor are they required to be knowledgeable on the subject (and why should we expect that… they are only an E-commerce site). By purchasing Sol Forge’s product on Etsy, you are acknowledging that Sol Forge is the subject matter expert for its pieces and creations (and that you understand and have gone over all policies for Etsy and Sol forge).

As all items are handmade to order; Sol Forge always does its best to get everybody the pieces they need the first time.

*-An upgraded shipping option may be utilized at any time at Sol Forge’s discretion.
If different addresses are required by customer for various couriers (i.e. “P.O. Box” for USPS vs physical address for FedEx or UPS), customer must provide alternate addresses in the note section during checkout as Sol Forge may utilize any courier.
Processing and shipping times provided are only an estimate, and are not guaranteed. Sol Forge is not responsible for shipping delays, or lost or damaged packages, and anything directly outside of the Sol Forge’s control. If an item arrives damaged, or a package is not delivered, Sol Forge will gladly do its best to assist you. If that is the case, you must contact Sol Forge immediately upon delivery, or within 10 days of estimated delivery for lost packages, and are expected to keep all packaging and shipping materials, as evidence may be required for any claims process (you are also expected to comply and assist with any needed information for that process).-*

Sol Forge does not accept returns on custom/customized orders, items on sale, or personalized pieces.

Qualifying returns/exchanges are accepted only under the following circumstances:
• You must contact Sol Forge within 7 days of delivery for instructions.
• Orders that do not follow the given instructions will not be accepted.
• Buyer is responsible for all return shipping costs as well as the original shipping cost (this includes what the Sol Forge paid, or what you selected as a shipping upgrade during checkout, whichever is greater). The original shipping cost will be deducted from the refund.
• All items must be returned in original, unused condition.
• All returns are subject to a 20% material fee in addition to the original shipping cost (this includes what the Sol Forge paid, or what you selected as a shipping upgrade during checkout, whichever is greater).

Any order that is received back as “return to sender”, or without an agreement, will be considered a forced return and will not be accepted or refunded.

"Urgent Order Status" service, when selected during checkout, ships an order within 2 business days after the day of purchase. Includes USPS Priority Mail or equivalent shipping method determined by Sol Forge (any shipping delay or carrier delay or discrepancies not discussed are not the responsibility of Sol Forge). Weekends and holidays are not business days. All times Eastern Time zone. "Urgent Order Status" is a non-refundable service.

There are several sizes available under the drop down tab for "size" on certain listings.

Bracket sizing-
Brackets are created with the listed dimensions as usable space from inside the lip (excluding any radii). Meaning you will select the bracket size based on the "true" measurement of the shelf piece you will be using. Please note, due to the completely handcrafted nature of the process, there will be a (+) tolerance to ensure proper fit, with the exception of brackets that do not have a front lip; those utilize a (-) tolerance.

Handles and Pulls sizing-
All handles and pulls are sized with the listed dimensions as the measurement from hole to hole. Again, due to the entirely handcrafted nature of the process, there can be (+/-) tolerances.

When a colored or tinted finish is selected it will function as a semi-permanent/temporary rust inhibitor and will wear and patina depending on use and environment. All other finishes should be expected to exhibit the natural visual qualities of steel. Natural raw and oiled finishes will have the mill scale, rust, and marks from the life of the steel. The colored finishes tint and interact with the surface while still giving the feel of the metal substrate (unlike a paint or powder coat). Differences in the finish can include, but are not limited to, sheen, hue, color ranges/fluctuations, and even "density". A distressed finish (when available) will have a bit more marking and extraneous hammer blows to emphasize the rustic effect, while the other options have cleaner lines. Unless a burnished finish is selected, Sol Forge does not guarantee any aspects pertaining to mill scale, rust, and marks from the life of the steel.

*Finish samples available for purchase are created using small scrap pieces of the stock material listed, and are finished based on the selection(s) chosen during purchase. They are not expected to be of any specific size or shape. As described in this listing, as they are handmade after the time of purchase, they are only an example, and will differ from any other piece(s) purchased. These samples are not created as a bracket/handle/pull (or any kind of fixture), and are intended only to provide a general idea utilizing the stock material and example(s) of the finish(es) for your planning purposes.

Unless otherwise stated in the description, all items are a single piece.
Any images on the listing are for display purposes only, Sol Forge has posted a sample of a general example and size that was created at a different time. Sol Forge creates all pieces to order and you will not receive those same pieces shown… Heck, it might not even be the size or finish shown that you have ordered. Differences from piece to piece are to be expected as they are created by a blacksmith that handcrafts all pieces. These differences may include but are not limited to visual differences of the stock material or finish, natural (+/-) tolerances due to the process of working the steel, perceived proportions on the sample image (notably when selecting the larger or smaller sizes on a listing). When not utilizing an upgraded option, a generically usable fastener(s) is provided as a courtesy and may vary due to many variables including supplier availability. Anything not stated or described will be left to the artist’s/blacksmith’s/creator’s (or more simply… Sol Forge’s) discretion and interpretation, unless discussed prior to purchase. For anything not discussed, you acknowledge release of Sol Forge (the little ole forge on the farm) from any liability or expectation.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Sol Forge via Etsy’s conversations or messaging system (to better help adhere to their buyer and seller policies) and Sol Forge will gladly assist.

If you have any questions about your specific project or installation, please consult a qualified local contractor or engineer.

By purchasing you understand that Sol Forge is not responsible for any damage due to improper use or installation.
