Being inspired by Panache's beautiful DIY sgian don'ts, I decided to make my own. So far, I have two - the top one is my first attempt. It's made from an 1/2" oak dowel rod, with a bit of decorative carving. The bottle opener is a paint can opener from the hardware store. I like it, but I think the handle turned out too thin. The second is also made of oak, and I'm much happier with it. The bottle opener is from a wing corkscrew (bought at a garage sale). These are easy and fun to make, and cheap.
