DCook Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 I have seen pictures showing some sort of bottle opening plug that looks like a wooden assembly that appears to butterfly into the bottle. Not sure how else to describe it. Will try to figure out how to post a picture if needed. IgorSky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSiemens Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 I have seen this and they look very interesting and can be a good way to fill extra space in the bottle. Here's one I found from Folkartinbottles.com. My understanding of the process is that the "butterfly" part is actually two separate pieces. They are pulling into place with a string that runs up the central dowel. The string is glued down and tied off at the top. Then a cap is glued over the hole and string to give the appearance that it is one solid piece and hide how the trick was done.
