Message from Artist: The Napa Valley of California is world famous for it's wine production. It's oak barrels used in the wine making process absorb and retain the deep rich color of the wine. The vast majority of these barrels are either discarded or converted into planters. I have created a unique way of recycling this resource into fine, beautifully handcrafted furniture.

"Preserve a piece of the Napa Valley for your home or office."

Each piece of wine barrel furniture is unique and signed by the cooperage (where the cooper makes barrels), and by the variety of wine stored in it. Every wine barrel is also unique in that its shape, contents, and its environment during its usage vary from winery to winery. This causes slight variations in the woods stain and the dimensions of each piece of furniture, making it one of a kind.

All the products come from one barrel, ensuring a consistent stain on each stave and maintaining the continuity of the barrel history. Each of the staves are shaped, sanded, polished, and treated with a marine varnish. The varnish provides excellent weather resistance, protecting against water, chemical, and salt spray damage as well as blocking any traces of wine odor.
