Buffalo Glassholder

Post by llwood »

Marty's favorite distillery uses the symbol of a buffalo. We wanted a tray that would have the buffalo symbol and also hold 4 glasses for serving. We experimented with 3 different versions.

1. A version with a raised 3D buffalo
2. A vcarved, stained version
3. A version with a vinlay

The 3D version was painted by my sister Erica, all other finishing by Marty.

Which do you like best? All of us like the vinlay version.

Sorry, but to me from just the pictures, the VCarved one is of those that are almost unrecognizable:(
My favorite is the VInlay, with your sister's amazing painting a close second.
VInlay:)

I'm partial to the Inlay version. The hand painted one is also very nice. The contents of the bottle looks special too :D

Some distilleries clean those by putting them in a dishwasher. I know of one that uses pine and V-carving for theirs and they seem to get good service life out of them. Which of these cuts would be longest lasting with a washing process?
