DWSUDEKUM Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Cut from pine. The rings are slightly larger than a 12 oz. soda can. Since the rings are slightly larger than the can I staggered the rings to fit a can when I glued it up, this provides air pockets to help hold the cold better. The koozie was sealed with tung oil with a little bit of ebony stain and then top coated with shellac.

wombatie Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I guess a koozie is a cup. Never heard that word before. Looks great DW, well done. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted May 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I guess a koozie is a cup. Never heard that word before. Looks great DW, well done. Marg You might have a different name for them. According to wikipedia " The beer koozie (pronunciation: /ˈkuËzi/ koo-zee), "beer hugger",[1] or "beer huggie",[1] is a misnomer as it is not always used for an alcoholic beverage. Other names are "coastie",[citation needed] "cozy",[1][3] "coosie",[4] "coolie",[1] "coldy-holdy",[1] "can cooler",[1] "bawdle",[1] "beer sleeve",[citation needed] and "bottle jacket". In Australia it is called a "stubby holder" due to the shape of the 375 millilitres (13.2 imp fl oz; 12.7 US fl oz) bottles of beer being shorter and fatter compared to the more slender 330 millilitres (12 imp fl oz; 11 US fl oz) bottles. " A Koozie is normally a fabric or foam device that is designed to thermally insulate a beverage can or bottle. You can do the same thing using other things as well. They are pretty common here in the states and are generally used to keep beer and soft drink cans colder longer. DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryEA Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Great looking and could be used as a drinking cup ... at least a few times. I like the handle also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted May 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Great looking and could be used as a drinking cup ... at least a few times. I like the handle also Actually Larry there is a 3/8 inch hole in the bottom to allow for drainage. I guess you could still use it you just have to be coordinated enough to be able to keep the hole blocked while drinking, failure to do so would be a sure sign that you should not be operating a vehicle DW Wilson's Woodworking, keefie and LarryEA 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DW The foam "stubby holder" is very popular in Australia, I have never seen a wooden one. Every household as at least 6 faom ones. They are called stubby holder because the small bottles of beer are called stubbies. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
