RE: Lets See Your Whittled Bottles - 1/17/2008 10:35:49 PM    cdnbottleguy   Posts: 152 Joined: 4/23/2007 Status: offline hi folks just wondering when you people say whittled bottles what do you mean ? i see the bottles in the pictures and they have a whittled appearence but why ? was it because they whittled the bottles when hot or was it how they made the molds by whittling? or is that just simply the style these bottles are thanks  Ian _____________________________ ***still looking for the bottle with the gene*** (in reply to tigue710) Post #: 14

WoW Tigue:  Thats what I thought about the wooden mold.  Thanks for the info.  Know I won't be telling people the wrong thing.  I should talk to you more often.  I will send ya a pic of that bottle today. _____________________________ It pays to look down.

RE: Lets See Your Whittled Bottles - 1/18/2008 8:16:03 AM    annie44 Posts: 1138 Joined: 10/27/2005 Status: offline Another question....  if whittled appearance is caused by cold molds in the morning, then why are there some bottles, for example the Oak Orchard Acid Springs bottles, that all seem to be whittled top to bottom??? Almost every example I have in different color variants is completely whittled. (in reply to annie44) Post #: 18
