One might think that an island has to import almost everything, but Bermuda has a few surprising local products. In this installment of “Hidden Gems: Bermuda”,Peter Greenberg learns about island-made products.
A great tool is a joy in the hand and to the mind. This is a short video about making a classic Bermuda Cedar beer (bottle) opener. Each piece takes over 5 hours to make. Selection of material is best where a branch meets the trunk to find the more interesting patterns and knots. Shaping and finishing each uniquely elegant opener is spread out over the course of a week to allow multiple coats of high quality varnish to harden.
