I saw something like this on a website and just knew I needed to create these in my own fashion. I took real charred white oak barrel staves, cut them to size and width, then sanded them down to a clean feel (and the backs so the char is just for show!) and then laser etched them with a bunch of fun, fantastic designs. Then I added nice sturdy metal bottle openers - perfect for any backyard party, bbq, penny social, brewfest or christening you may be attending. (We have weird traditions in my family)
