As you know I make knives. Over the years I have used some unusual material like pieces from the USS Constitution.
Since starting to do sgian dubhs I have had a burning desire to do some sgian dubhs and dirks using staves from whisky barrels. I can get some from Jack but I really want ones from scotches.
Let's all pool our spare change and buy a barrell of whiskey from a small distiller of some 30yr old water of life. I think thats the least we can do for Drac.
Ok boys and girls send me your nickels
I wonder what the wood would be like? they char the inside of the barrels with torches. I would think the recyled sherry cask that the whisky makers use would smell the best.
