Beer bottle mash paddle 1.0, birch. There was was actually a criss cross in the middle of the bottle but the router bit shattered that. It works though.
Well, comparing... mine's not as intricate, but I made it while brewing yesterday. I still need to sand down the holes. I am still contemplating whether or not to mineral oil it or not. That always seems to start something on here... Made out of red oak scrap
I recently moved up to a keggle, so I needed a longer paddle to get leverage. I made this from a scrap of 4/4 maple. It's 40" long and 3-1/2" wide. I drilled 1-3/8" dia. holes with a forstner bit and rounded over all edges and holes with a 1/4" roundover bit in a router table.
I bought the wood to make a mash paddle a few months ago. My wife sketched out a pattern and everything... just need to find the time to cut it out. I'll post it here once I finally get around to it!
Had some Cocobola kicking around. Told my kids that when I was in school my principal had one of these hanging in his office... They thought I was kidding!!!
