This is a charming interpretation of our Annabelle style wall bottle opener. We hand picked the Walnut, a dark brown hardwood with black grain, and the Cherry, a mellow red that deepens over time, to create this opener. This opener hides a little secret. There is a magnet built into the body of the opener that catches the cap before it can fall on the floor and go under the refrigerator.

It is part of a five-piece batch. Due to the natural variance inherent in wood and hand-made items, this exact constellation of color, grain, and proportion will never be created again.The grain patterns of the item you receive may differ from the one in the picture. We never use stains or dyes, and we hand-finish our openers with a natural linseed oil finish. We want the natural beauty of the wood to show through.

We personally make everyone of our products by hand. Brasswood Handwork isn't about trying to make as many of something as fast as we can. We start by going to a local lumber yard and searching through the available selection. Before we buy anything we inspect it for grain, color, and quality of the wood. This isn't building lumber, it doesn't come cut into boards and planed smooth. After planing and cutting the wood into useful sizes, we start to plan the combinations of woods with the items we want to make. Next we glue the wood together to make our blanks, then more planing, then more cutting, then sometimes more gluing/planing/cutting. Finally we get to sanding, and sanding, and sanding, and sanding. After another inspection and cleaning we get to the branding. We don't put on a label, or use an ink stamp. We use a brand and burn our name into every piece we make. Finally the finish can be applied. As with everything else, this is done by hand. Throughout the entire process little parts are touched up or redone, so the final product is always something we are proud of.
