Walnut Beer Bottles

[John Kos]

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??

What little Pecan I've turned was more like Hickory, [tough and stringy.] Walnut I've turned turned great.

I would consider wood burning the label information on to the bottle. I think a paper label might detract from your turned bottle.

+1 on what Paul said. Wood burning would look awesome I think

Alcahol is the thinner for shellac. And pecan cuts great and is very pretty.
