My friend built an outdoor kitchen and put in a kegerator, so I decided to make him a tap handle. He's a Cardinals fan, so that's what I went with. It's my first one, so I ran into a few snags, but I'm happy with how it turned out.
It's walnut with maple inlay for the beak and feathers. The eyes are aluminum inlay. I programmed and machined it on a CNC mill. The whole thing is sprayed with an automotive clearcoat in hopes that it will protect it from the elements.
Here are a few other pictures.
