Beer swap

Beer swapThis was my project for this years beer swap. I made it out of oak. Originally tried making a star at the top with my jigsaw but I had to put so much pressure on the wood to keep the jigsaw from bouncing that the star broke so I cut it off. I got to thinking about the project while driving one day(I drive a truck for a living) and decided the beer bottle caps would add a nice touch. I glued on another piec of oak on either side and used a hole saw to make the holes for the caps. I didnt have the correct saw but I was able to use one a little bigger. Without drilling all the way through I was able to put the caps on the center piece of the hole that the hole saw normally removes. I didnt glue the caps on so they can be pried off and swapped out as desired. I finished with 3 coats of deft. It will hold 8 beers.
