Crown Royal tipper
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
i had a request to make a tipper for a crown royal bottle. i have made several for wine bottles so i accepted the challenge. The board is 5 1/2 ” wide by 12 1/2” long. I drilled an 1 1/2” hole 6 1/2 inches from the bottom. I cut the ends at a 30 degree angle. finished with 2 coats of tung oil varnish and a couple coats of laquer after the tung oil dried. fun project and conversation piece when people try to figure what holds the tipper up without tipping over.

First timer
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
Took the opportunity to try something new. This was my first attempt at carving a wood spirit. I knew I should have picked a softwood for my first try but this piece of cherry has been sitting in my shop for a few years and I guess the wood spirt inside it finally got my attention. I carved it using me Dremel and flex shaft, should have had some better carving bits. It is finished with a dark mahogany stain and clear matte spray. It wasn't terribly difficult to carve, cherry is a relatively soft hardwood but next time I think I'll look for a lighter colored wood. The stain helped to highlight some of the details and overall it took me just a few hours to carve, stain and finish. I did some research on the history of wood spirits and made up the tag to put with these, feel free to use it if you'd like.
