Whiskey Barrel Christmas Ornament

Welcome to the first blog post of Skyviewcustoms. In this blog, you will find interesting projects in progress or completed. Enjoy and feel free to let us know what you think! 

This first project is a whiskey barrel shaped Christmas ornament. Just like original full size whiskey barrels, this ornament is crafted from 2 sections of laminated oak. Because this is not only a decorative ornament but also a functional "mini barrel" we needed to carve an internal area to hold our favorite whiskey. Our cnc router was used for the two sided machining process. This ornament even features internal charred insides with wood burned banding to give it that authentic whiskey barrel look.  It was finally topped off with a precision engraved whiskey barrel bung.

This is just one of the many custom projects we are willing to tackle.  We look forward to many more.
