Whiskey Barrel Baron

[Gary Max]

Made this as a gift for a Uncle who turned 75 last Sunday.
Heck better late than never.
This is from The Whiskey Barrel blanks I am selling for a buck a piece.
Wood is very hard---sharp tools are a must.
When you turn the pen---it smells like the inside of a wiskey barrel.
Mixed up some BLO and Mineral Sprits to pop the grain.
Finish coat of TSW.

Good looking pen. Did you include a shot glass for a pen holder?

I would sit around with that pen under my nose. I love bourbon but haven't drank for 17 years. Fine looking pen Gary.

Gee Gary---are you encouraging your Uncle to indulge?? I'm sure he'll like the pen---looks line a good one!!

 

[Gary Max]

Serge you would have to buy more than tree blanks--the postage would be a bear on three. I could make you a heck of a deal on a 100 and ship by boat---LOL

Nice pen Gary, I like the theme, were those made from your whiskey barrels [?] [] or your neighbot Mr Beam [?]

Anthony the pen is from a sour mash whiskey barrel lid.
I bought a bunch of barrel tops and sawed them up into blanks.They are for sale in the classifieds.
I have sold several but still have a bunch left.
