Finished my Bulleit bourbon lamp.

In case you missed it, last week I needed help on staining the inside of a 1.75L bottle to give the appearance of it being filled with bourbon.
I'm pretty happy with the results.

Reading the thread title, I was expecting this to look trashy as shite.
But that looks great, nice work

Did you happen to document how you made it? With pictures? Would love to make one for myself.

Looks great. Go over to the really big bourbon thread on the food board and post this.

What did you end up using?

That's really nice. Impressed that you were able to do that good a job when it sounds like you were kind of tinkering around. Looks like something that was done by an old pro.

I found a translucent oil based dye at Hobby Lobby. I bought orange and brown and mixed it like 3 parts orange to one part brown and mixed it with clear high gloss polyurethane and poured it into the bottle and swirled it around then let it drain upside-down about 20 fricking times. Took forever to get a thick enough coat to look good.

Howd you keep the neck clear?

That looks great. Wasn't expecting it to come out so well.

I'd certainly buy one? How much?

Is this Pinterest that I somehow stumbled into?
No seriously it looks good. I'm curious to know how you made it.

My absolute favorite bourbon. Always have a bottle open at the house. Never once thought of making a lamp out of them
