Have an orbital or belt sander? Rough cut your pattern and sand away. That's how I did mine

Hah who knew, not sure if mine is red or white, just was sitting in my fathers garage. Learns something new every day!

Someone said something about closed grain hardwoods, so I made mine out of Oak. But who knows

Will do, my next brew is an imperial stout so if a little smoked oak flavor is imparted I won't mind haha

Love the jeep theme!

Yup I just have a MAPP/Propane torch and just tried to burn the insides enough to be black, trying to avoid the outside, then sanded it back down. 40, 120, then 240 grit. Might do more but I think it's plenty smooth

Here is mine from today, Oak board. No finish. Template designed in Solidworks. Holes have a burnt finish.

Should be brewing a Terrapin Wake N Bake similar this coming weekend!

I'll say, La Cumbre Ska Lagunitas Surly (cause I trade for it) Deschuttes

Some other pics of some Jeeping

I am in Las Cruces/ABQ and can get all of them!

Only done beer before, but this sounds like and awesome idea! I love game of thrones!

Just consider it pre aged! Haha probably better than fresh TBH!
