Bottle Cap Fish

Beer bottle caps serve great as fish scales if patterned right! Barracuda, Wahoo, and Mackerel. Each has a pine body clad with patterns of ‘scales’ made of bottle caps, and each with a bottle cap eye. The mackerel and wahoo have heads clad in painted tin. Each piece in this style is one of a kind. Barracuda is 52” long, 11” wide at the tail, and the Wahoo is 38” long, 11” wide at the tail. The Mackerel is 33″ long, 11″ at the widest point. Contact me for availability of pieces in this style.
