Bottle Openers From Recent Travels

During the recent trips to Minnesota and around Colorado, I have attempted to collect a piece of wood in most of the locals to make into bottle openers.

With the Summer travels coming to an end a few days in the shop resulted in these.

There is wood from the Alpine Loop below Handies (fifth from right), Monarch (2nd from left), Dan's place in Minni (third from left) and Democrat-Cameron-Lincoln-Bross (sixth from left or right). The one on the far left is curly Redwood from Eureka, CA. The wild striped one is from a piece of Gambrel Oak (scrub Oak) cut from behind the house when doing fire mitigation.

Haven't spent much time in the shop this Summer, but hopefully things will slow down this Fall and I can get in there. Found a source for curly maple and cherry up here in my area for the new table top Marlys has been asking about for a year now.
