With a Little Help From My Friends

I’m well into the second half of the front wall, with columns 10 and 11 (out of 14) laid out on my workbench. 

I have put out the call to everyone we know to drink lots of Makers Mark and give me the empty bottles. I’m cutting the embossed logo out of the bottles to put into the panels as little easter eggs - I think the raised texture pairs well with that of the depression glass. I’m averaging about a 50% success rate of getting the logo out of the bottle without breaking it.
