Some beer taps handles I recently completed for our up coming Octoberfest celebration (our community is called Block so we refer to the celebration as "Blocktoberfest").
The one on the left has brass inlay for the lettering. First time I had tried it and was happy with the way it turned out.

Very smart, mind you by the time you have worked your way along to the last tap who cares what it looks like
Thanks for sharing, sure Chris will find those interesting

Re: Beer tap handles
They look very good and it's ironic that I saw this? I'm actually trying to draw a tap handle for a new local mini brewery that I just made signage for.

Re: Beer tap handles
Here is my attempt at a 3 sided tap handle. I cut it in a piece of pine to be sure it was was I thought it would be?

Re: Beer tap handles
Bryson,
Love the way the texture works throughout the piece. I really need to try a few of these...
