Still.... Oak in the great scheme of things is just a step or 2 above undesierable. Don't get me wrong, i LOVE quarter sawn oak. Don't see very much of it nowdays though and your tap handles are VERY SEXY!!! (I like the one on the left) I do like oak, but rosewood.... man, the grain in that wood is quite unique and out of this world!!! Another material I would love to see in a tap handle is honduras mohogany... Can't get it anymore. Very elegant! Have to use a very light stain on that one to see the grain though.
of course I would hate to see a beer lable stuck to the outside of the handle and hide the natural beauty of the grain. Maybe drill a hole in the top and add something as astheticly pleasing as the wood itself to describe what exactly is on tap? Great work!!! and in the immortal words of Winston Zeddemore (ghostbusters)"Ray. If someone asks if you are a god... (long pause) ...YOU SAY YES!!!!!!!!!!"
