    Jack Daniel’s Whiskey Barrel Dice

    $42.00$167.00

    Jack Daniel’s whiskey barrels are made from White Oak, a common domestic hard wood that is used in many applications. The wood is used for just about everything including cabinetry, furniture, interior trim, flooring, veneer, and of course barrels.

    The charred inside of a whiskey barrel adds a distinct smokey flavor to the beverage but it also gives the dice crafted from it a unique added flair. The D6s in our polyhedral sets come with the 6 side bearing that fine black char.

Their Bourbons are aged for twice the legally required minimums. Meaning that these blanks have been soaking in that liquid libation for a minimum of 4 years and some of the whiskeys aging 12 years or more. The barrels are coopered by hand, from charred white oak and metal hoops. You can see the char from the insides of these barrels preserved on the 6 side of every d6 we make from them.

    Bristlecone Pine

    $63.00$273.00

    During our first Kickstarter one of our backers put down a challenge in the comments, to see if I could come up with wood from the Methuselah Tree, the worlds oldest living Bristlecone Pine, and the worlds oldest living organism. While there’s no way in hell I would cut down a tree that’s well over 4,000 years old. Bristle Cone Pines, while not common, do grow in isolated groves just below the tree line all over the southwest.

    Redwood Burl

    Texas Ebony

    $42.00$167.00

    This native scrub tree grows in the southern tip of Texas and produces one of my favorite woods in the world.

It is extremely dense and very hard with a twisted gnarly grain that ranges in color from steel blue, to grey, to deep golden brown. Its sap wood is a pale contrast that, when present adds to the character of the dice.

Otherwise its bitter and nasty.) Persimmon lumber typically includes very wide sapwood, with a small core of dark heartwood. When freshly cut, sapwood is creamy white and darkens to a yellow or grayish brown. The heartwood ranges from brown to black, though orange streaks are sometimes present. Persimmon wood is extremely hard.

    Hickory (Swamp)

    $27.00$103.00

    Hickory was an indispensable wood to the settlers. Its tough hard wood was and still is used extensively for tool handles and wheel spokes. President Andrew Jackson was even called “Old Hickory” because of his tough and aggressive personality. The Hickory tree actually covers 19 species of tree. The particular Hickory we use Texas Swamp Hickory. It grows in the swampy creek bottoms of my native East Texas and is a close relative of the Pecan. It’s often used as a smoking wood since it burns long and imparts a wonderful flavor to meat. The wood is a medium tan color with insect marks interspersed throughout. These markings giving Swamp Hickory a wonderful character.
