FURNITURE, HOME DECOR, & BARWARE WITH SPIRIT
Old barrels.
New beginnings.
“Every barrel has a story, and I love giving it a second chapter.”
-Mel Kenis
Reclaimed whiskey and wine barrel wood becomes one-of-a-kind furniture, home décor, and barware that bring warmth, character, and a touch of cheeky charm into your home.
Made by hand with a soft, satin finish, and built by someone stubborn enough to work with curved wood on purpose.
“When someone brings one of my pieces into their home,
I want them to feel it.”
The buttery-smooth finish.
The weight of real wood.
The grain that will never be duplicated.
I want them to know they're holding a piece with character, crafted one at a time from reclaimed barrel wood. Every item is thoughtfully made to highlight the natural beauty, history, and uniqueness of the wood itself.

~90% Reclaimed
Your piece was a bourbon barrel or wine cask before it was yours. The history is part of the product.
Distinct Design
The grain, char marks, and patina are preserved, not sanded away. Every piece is genuinely one of a kind.
Satin Hand-feel
The character stays. The splinters don't. Every edge is finished until it feels like it should cost more than it does.
THE PIECE EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT
To wobble or not; that is the question.
ONCE UPON A TIME…
there was a loving, wonderful couple.
She liked her whiskey steady.
He liked his with a little “rock and roll”.
Their playful disagreement inspired the Wobble or Not™ Coaster and Glass Set.
The Wobble or Not Coaster and Glass Set lets you decide.
The weighted wobble glass is balanced just enough to stay upright, yet playful enough to spin, rock, and wobble with a gentle nudge. Nestled in a handcrafted reclaimed barrel wood coaster, one side lets the glass move freely, while the other cradles it securely in a perfectly still position.
A little movement when you want it. A little stability when you don't.
Warning: May cause excessive wrist action, smiles, giggles, and an irresistible urge to keep it spinning
Wobble responsibly.
Made by one person, in one shop, with absurd attention to detail.
By process, barrel wood is bowed, torqued, cupped, and doesn't play by the rules.
Truth be told, neither do I.
I've always been drawn to things with character, history, and a few imperfections that make them interesting. That's why I transform retired whiskey and wine barrels into one-of-a-kind pieces that celebrate every curve, imperfection, and grain pattern.
The wood may have started as an outcast in the workshop, but around here, that's exactly what makes it beautiful. The result is handcrafted furniture, décor, and barware with a little history, a lot of character, and just enough attitude to stand out from the crowd.

"Exactly what I wanted and then some. Melissa was responsive and creative the whole way through. The finish is smooth, the engraving is perfect, and my cheese board is funnier than I am. Worth it."
