Custom Carved Tap Handles

a friend of mine is a novice wood carver and volunteered (was drafted) to carve some tap handles for my kegerator.

second tap is obviously a Boundary Bay IPA handle....

and that's not all - he has promised more handles are on the way.

 

Very cool! they almost look like caricature easter island statues.

 

Yeah pretty cool. Do you know what species of wood?

 

he told me it was a soft wood, but i don't know what kind.

now he's working on harder wood...we'll see what he comes up with next.

 

Awesome stuff, I'd buy a smiling face one - like happy to be drinking this beer face!

 

if you notice all the eyes are looking down - watching the beer being poured!

 

You should have one with bitter beer face for your IPA. Those are sweet.

 

Wow, those are awesome! I wish I had a friend who could do that.

 

Between the color, straight grain, and "novice carver" comment my guess is bass.
