The process would be the same as with a lathe... just ALOT more beer. Bottles can be a real mofo...

On another popular site there is a thread on Shaping Bottelheads. Does not talk about hand carving but shows alot about making the face. It is bumped up near the top now.

I'd be happy to turn a half dozen or so for ya, I'll leave the square ends on and you can do the shaping and drilling...
