In very low volumn, every wine barrel stave and pounded iron craft is meticulously built in my backyard workshop with the care and attention of a thoughtful gift for someone special.

Over the Easter holiday last weekend, we went camping to Rifle Falls and, surprise surprise, our 5th wheel suddenly sprouted a new to-do list 😖 This time, my wife's brilliant idea was to add more shelves in the bathroom…

Here are some before and after pictures.

Last year, I purchased an old wrought iron wine shelf. This year, one of my dearest friend and neighbor gave me a live edge slab of beautiful wood that he had stored in his shop for probably 25 years.

Today, I had an idea 😳 I modified the shelf into a plant stand, cut and mounted the wood slab to its top, and placed it on our covered patio.

I really enjoy taking pieces and parts and making something beautiful but still functional.

Hope my wife likes it 😉

One of my good friends, for whom I've built wine barrel crafts in the past, asked if I could make something functional that would also match the rusted steel art she has around her beautiful home. The goal is to stop the planter sprinklers from hitting her home's siding.

I think it turned out pretty cool 🙂

If you know someone who likes wine and fancies a rustic piece of Western decor, this coat rack made from wine barrel staves, pounded iron, and horse shoes is the perfect thing for that buckaroo or cowgirl in your life.

PM me if you are interested.

Sometimes when I build something new, I kinda want to keep it. Not sure yet, but this might be one of those times…. L😉L

However, I’ll probably make another one if someone is interested.

Please note that the alcohol is NOT included with this craft and is only for demo purposes.

This unique wall clock would make a wonderful gift for a loved one or something special for yourself.

Made from beautifully stained wine barrel staves and pounded iron, the wood was carefully carved so that the clock face with a second hand sits nicely against it.

Is it me, or is everything getting more expensive in Colorado? 🤬

The first picture is an ad for oak barrels in Colorado, and the second is an ad for the same in California. I know they can be found a little less expensively in Colorado, but still.
