The freshest set of tap handles made their way to the brewery today. Both are sanora dendritic rhyolite, in spite of looking nothing alike. Payment received in the form of a good lunch and a few growlers. Barter is good.  IMG_20210323_133641 by nik1924, on Flickr |

Those are awesome! How do you attach the stone to the metal? Do you have to use a core drill? Forgive my ignorance; I'm the most unmechanically inclined person in the world.  |

I'll give you a run for your money on not being mechanically inclined. Bit those are real nice beer taps. I remember when I visited Guam back in 2005. Quite the experience. |

This is one of the sweetest ideas I've seen, I plan on copying soon for a personal tap!

I love 'em both!!! However, the pattern in the one on the left is off-the-charts amazing!  I agree with Sax - the rough tops make them look really awesome! |

Great idea, I love it! If I still brewed beer, I’d totally rip that off and put something similar on my taps!
