Oak Wine Barrel End Table with Shelf

Make a unique statement in your home with this Wine Barrel Arched End Table made entirely from reclaimed Virginia Oak wine barrels.

This great conversation piece features the natural crimson color of Virginia red wine that was stored inside the barrel. When the barrels are disassembled and dried, we sand the underside of the barrel head and the inside of the staves. We eliminate the roughness of the wood but not so much as to take away the rustic charm. The outside surface is also sanded to show off the natural oak grain.

The table can be used as an end table or bistro table. The two heights we offer are 25 inches and 34 inches. The top of the table is created from the barrel head which is approximately 20 to 24” as barrel heads vary. You can see the rich wine stained color on the inside of the thick arched legs and the cross brace created from the staves. A shelf is created below the top also made from the staves.

Our end tables are sealed and finished with multiple coats of an Earth friendly hand rubbed tung oil from Vermont. This beautiful finish is designed for indoor use.

A chess / checker game board can be added to the table top. We make a different variations of this table, so be sure to check them out as well.



Recycled Wine Bottle Cork Trivet

Here we have a unique 8 ¼  x 8 ¼ oak framed trivet using recycled corks. A custom high quality Ravello travertine decorative tile in the center has a grape motif which accentuates the piece. The corks used are from Virginia wineries.

This trivet is a perfect accessory for any wine lover's kitchen or home. The wood frame has an interior polymerized tung oil added to protect and to bring out the natural look of the wood. Small protective feet on the bottom of the trivet protect your table or counter.


Due to the differences in types of corks and staining, your trivet may vary from the one pictured.  We have a very limited number of these trivets due to the rarity of the tile.


Fredericksburg Craft Faire April 6 & 7th

This past weekend my wife Kristin and I attended the Fredericksburg Spring Arts & Craft. This event was the the 7th annual Spring event and is held indoors at the Fredericksburg Convention Center. Vendors display their handcrafted artwork, pottery, bath products, jewelry, woodwork, gourmet foods, and much more. Many are unique gifts, however we have noticed a fair amount of wholesale goods that are resold.


Our booth was a corner booth which we prefer as this allows us to display our products of two sides.


We have added a new product to our line, a hanging candle/flower sconce. Kristin has created a lattice wall which is where we hang the sconces.


Kristin also takes pride in her barrel stave candle holders. A seperate table in the booth is where she displays these.


Overall the show was very light on attendees. Both Saturday and Sunday were very nice outside which may have contributed to the light attendance.

My wife and I are always lookig for ways to update and make our booth better in order to display our products well. The lattice wall was a last minute addition prior to the show and is made from plastic lattice and pressure treateddecking boards cut down and slotted. The goal was to have 3 sections, however I couldn't complete the thrid section in time for the event. Today I finished the third section and stained all three with a red oak finish.


Now we can test out the new display at the next show.
