Drunken pirate skeleton in a barrel....

[mic214]

I picked up an old wine barrel and cut a hatch into one end of it. I am going to prop up up a half torso pirate skeleton in it holding a sword in one hand a mug of rum in the other. I also am going to stencil "XXX" on the outside of the barrel.

I just set this guy inside to see how it would look:

I love it when I can get a barrel full of drunken pirate.
They dont carry it at Costco that often....
Great job, Mic

Finding barrels tip. If you live in an area with wineries ask if they have any they're ready to pitch. Sometimes they get rid of old barrels. Worth a shot. If you live in eastern Missouri or California, of course, there should be lots of options.
