View Full Version : Finishing walnut beer bottles

I am going to turn three "beer bottles" in walnut and pecan. They will have a bottle opener mounted in the top.
I also plan to have labels made for each bottle with a family photo and some script. I can have the labels made from paper or vinyl, or something else if someone has a better idea.
Which of these do you folks think would work best? I am hoping to finish the bottles with shellac or lacquer, and will spray the entire bottle, including the label. Ideas??
Also, I've never turned Pecan, is it similar to walnut as far as work-ability??
