Hi Jason, What do you use to mill out the tops. I'd like to give that a go.


I used the tool you can see in one of the photos it as a dremel multi tool only not dremel a cheaper brand i bought off ebay fro about £15 brand new and boxed. if you don't have a dremel you could drill multiple holes to the same depth (put some tape around the drill bit to ensure accuracy) and then cut and sand to shape. it will be much more time consuming though


Thanks Jason, I have a Dremel. I just havent explored it's potential yet. I'll give it a shot and post my results in my build.BigGrin

I don't think there is an official colour other than 'aged'. Here's what I did (click the link).

You could try staining them medium oak. If you want to ad some realism doe each strip of wood in the barrel body a slightly different shade.

Once empty barrels were disassembled to reduce storage space so when reassembled they were not allways the same age wood
