Montserrat Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) Hi folks, I got me some whiskey barrel lids and I am thrilled. Oak, 1" thick 21" diameter. Held together by dowels so I will glue them up. But then... What can scrollers come up with? I am thinking fretwork? They are 30 years old and I am thrilled to have got them. Thank for your brain matter Edited August 3, 2018 by Montserrat OCtoolguy, SCROLLSAW703 and Scrolling Steve 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry1939 Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 You stated that there are dowel holes. If you do fretwork, you will need to work around them. Nice find. Am sure you will make beautiful items. jerry OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montserrat Posted August 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) Thanks, Jerry, I am planning on gluing the pieces together into a one solid piece. Hoping the dowels will not be a problem at that time. Or am I overlooking something? Edited August 3, 2018 by Montserrat OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meflick Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 I see they came from the Jack Daniel's distillery here in Lynchburg, TN. Great get. Maybe you want to make them into "scratch and sniff" items! SCROLLSAW703 and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF you were to cut out large fret shapes, you would be able to see dowels looking "down into the cut out holes". jerry SCROLLSAW703 and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) Looks like an awesome sort of rustic large wall hang clock to me.. I'd cut out numbers from Walnut or something contrasting to glue onto them.. I think i'd leave them with the dowel rods etc just as they are.. Might even just stencil / paint the numbers Edited August 3, 2018 by kmmcrafts SCROLLSAW703, Montserrat and OCtoolguy 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppnerguy Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 What ever you decide to do with them has got to be interesting. I can not wait to see what you turn these into. I would have rejected them if they would have been offered to me, so I am excited to learn something from this find of yours. I obviously need a wood education here.

KurtP Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 I agree with Kevin they would make a great looking clock. OCtoolguy and Montserrat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Small tables? OCtoolguy and Montserrat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimErn Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) I would mask off the printing and sand and finish the rest of the disk. I would not change the splits, leave as is. Finish with poly urethane or spar varnish and make them patio tables with 3-leg tripod kind of legs, probably cedar posts or baseball bats for legs. edit - I don't even want to image trying to hang a 1" think,. 21 inch diameter oak disc on the wall, those things are heavy Edited August 5, 2018 by JimErn Scrappile, Montserrat and OCtoolguy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
