    maybe it's just me, but that thing creeps me out. looks like a monster crapping a stainless pipe.

    as for your new kegerator, good luck to you and your health. so long moderation!

    Thanks - it's Great Cthulhu. Saw an image I liked and thought the bulbous head would make a rad handle :wink:

    Sorry, not a fan. I usually match my handles to the beer on tap. I may be too traditional for your kegerator. Anyone for a glass of squid shit?

    It's mandatory that you serve stouts out of this tap and make references to squid ink. I like!

    I like the carving by itself. Might look better if it were more of a tap handle - legs wrapping around a plank or something.

    Thats badass!
    Are you going to poly it or let the oils from hands cover/patina it? either way it'd look awesome on any kegerator.

    Not sure - the artist mentioned that she was "curing" it - not sure what that means.

    maybe she was letting it sit in a room listening to cure albums on repeat?

    might not have been my choice for a tap handle but I respect the time and talent that went into carving it.
