While I miss having snow, the warmer winter has allowed me to get this done earlier than expected.

Now for something completely different. I was asked if I could do a teambuilding trophy for a company get-together. The theme was a BBQ battle. What could be better than a big black walnut BBQ bottle with custom label. Tissue box shown for scale.
