Beer Truck III
This is the 3rd beer truck I have made in the last 10 or so years. Each one seems to have more, or different details added to them. The main cab and accent wood is Brazilian Cherry I found here in Russia. Accents are from many different exotics and laminates off the bench. Fenders are 5 layers of wood's, front bumper is 4 layers and has an almost black look to the cherry. The hood has 6 different woods to create the colors. The 154 bottles are from T&J's stock. Each is hand painted several times and then hand cut foil labels applied, then they were sealed with clear urethane. The barrels are both bought and hand made. I cut them to look like staves and treated them to some gel stain wiped off across the cuts. A hand truck helps the driver haul the kegs to the restaurants. These are a fun build, but the bottles are sure time consuming. Thanks for looking. Doug

Out Standing Build Just Out Standing!!!
Who needs air conditioning when you've got a swing out wind shield?
And the barrels are just so cute, well done.
I think thou you need to make one more beer bottle to even it out or did you drink it as you worked. LOL
May I ask how big it is to be able to get all those details in.
Appropriate the picture of the labeling process helps us to see the work involved.
