Our church had a men's Beast Feast tonight where they served rabbit, deer, duck, alligator, white perch, elk, and pig. I didn't go but from the looks of the cars my guess is there were 60-70 men in attendance. So I figured some Walnut trivets would be good door prizes and I made three plus a US flag.

Wood Cutting board Rectangle Hardwood Wood stain

The trivets are finished with mineral oil and the flag is sprayed with Nitrocellulose lacquer. I used gloss but probably should have used semi-gloss. The flag is about 5" x 10" and the trivets range from about 6" to 7" x 10" to 12".

Enjoy!
David

Actually, almost non at all, every couple of weeks i have one bourbon. Alcohol burns my throat if it isn't well diluted. But I do know that those who drink buy clever plaques. ALWAYS the marketeer!

Speaking of which, you might consider offering these to bar owners either for display or for sale.

Love the drinkers at the festivals. They have a bottle or pitcher in one hand and a credit card in the other.

Had one guy a couple years ago order and pay for 3 custom carved Polish eagles for $300+. Called him 6 weeks later to say they were done. He didn't have a clue he even ordered them, but now knew what that charge was on his statement. He came over, picked them up, liked them, and left a happy camper.

Haha! I'd come closer to offering them the spiritual ones over doing any that represented what they have to offer! :grin:
