think sausage. stuff the bottles into sausage skins to form the planks.
tie the sausages together at the ends like a reed boat. or lash the
sausages together along their length and to some sort of ribs (eg steam
bent). if you can't find sausage skins make your own out of tough sheet
plastic and double sided carpet tape.
