Our barrel furniture is well know throughout southern California. We have partnered up with Stone Brewing Company in 2012 and have been growing ever since. I just finished making my 727 barrel chair.

Reclaimed Handmade Rustic FurnitureThe Barrel Lounge Chairs and Rockers are our number one sellers. We have shipped them all over the country and also to a few other parts of the world. Each one is numbered and comes in a few different variation. You can choose to have them made from Wine barrels or Bourbon Whiskey barrels. Then you can choose to have the backrest in two different styles. Open Top or Closed Top. If you want a some motion while relaxing then I highly recommend our Recurved Rockers. They are top of the line when it comes to barrel rocking chairs. The bottom staves are recurved to be the ideal curvature for proper motion. (Most companies simply use a wine stave but barrels are not actually curved the right amount.)

Bourbon Barrel Chalkboards

“We just finished a few new designs and here is one of them. The Bourbon Barrel Chalkboards are a must have. They are the perfect whiskey decor and with great function. Use them as signs for wedding, bars, tasting rooms and more.”

Bourbon Barrel Chalkboards

Bourbon Barrel ChalkboardsFor a few months now we have been trying to find new ways to use up more and more of our scraps and cut offs. The biggest overstock we usually have are the barrel heads. (the barrel tops) Most will dry apart and warp really bad. As a full top they are pretty useless. But as pieces they are still solid 1″ thick querter sawn white oak. They are well seasoned and can be still used if you know how to.

Bourbon Barrel ChalkboardsIn the past we have been selling of the barrel tops. Offering many different options but even with extensive descriptions and photos, many people didn’t really grasp what and how barrel tops are. Not solid. No nailing or glue. Once they dry, they come apart like a jig saw puzzle. Not wanting to deal with this issue, I started an initiative to use our scraps in a better way. With the right design, we can recycle even more and the business can reach better profit margins.

Bourbon Barrel ChalkboardsThe Bourbon Barrel Chalkboards are a huge hit right of bat. We can make a lot of them because of our overstock and they have many great functions. They are fairly large (the black board size 13″x17″) so they work perfect as bar menus, wedding signs and more. They also feature a little shelf and two hooks. Ideal for keys, coats and hats. Order one and add a little rustic charm to your home today.

We are also finishing up some new picture frame ideas which will be pretty similar to these since the design works so well. Keep an eye out for them by following us on social media and most importantly through our newsletter. On our home page you can sign up for our monthly newsletter and save big on your next purchase. We send out coupon codes and new product info every time. You will also receive a coupon code for our bourbon barrel furniture instantly just for signing up.

If you have any questions or just need some more information please feel free to contact me directly. balazs@hungarianworkshop.com

Bourbon Barrel Clock

“Check out our new Bourbon Barrel Clock in our ONLINE STORE“

Bourbon Barrel Clock

After months of deliberation on how to keep reusing our Bourbon Barrel Cut Offs. We came out with this practical and beautiful work of art. Our Bourbon Barrel Clock is a simple design at its finest. Everything is made from genuine reclaimed bourbon barrels. Even the roman numerals are hand cut from the barrel’s metal bands for that high quality detailed finish. At the Hungarian Workshop we thrive to make all out furniture and home decor authentic as possible with no short cuts. We have been in business for over five years with a big clientele list all over the US. We provide excellent customer service and fine handcrafted barrel furniture.

Bourbon Barrel ClockIt’s time for bourbon and with this beautifully handcrafted Bourbon Barrel Wall Clock you will always know what time it is. Made from genuine aged bourbon barrels, this large rustic wooden wall clock is high quality with amazing attention to detail all the way. The most important and a one of kind feature is that all the roman numerals are handmade from the actual barrel bands. NO PAINTING OR LASER ENGRAVING HERE.
Each clock is unique and virtually one of kind because we use a wide variety of barrel heads from many different distilleries. This bourbon barrel clock will be a great focal point in any living room, kitchen, lounge or wherever true whiskey enthusiast wants to place it.
Time is ticking so order one today! Cheers!

The idea for the Bourbon Barrel Clock came to me a long time ago. We always have way too many barrel tops and the concept of using them for a clock has been around for years. My goal is to create items which sell great and always have an edge in the market. Sure, you will see other similar clocks out there with falsely painted or engraved distillery markings. Making them unauthentic as hell and down right a lie. I even seen Wine Barrels sold as Whiskey ones… ( I’m actually confused on why the companies who’s names they are labeling on there has not sent them a cease and desist, ha) Anyways, not trying to point fingers at anyone, I just want to inform potential buyers who may not realize these key differences.

Bourbon Barrel Clock – Handcrafted all the way!

Bourbon Barrel ClockTo have my brand standout I always aim for higher quality in craftsmanship and design. Also, I often look at better ways to save and use the barrel material. This is how the Bourbon Barrel Clock came to be. Use more barrel scrap material: barrel tops, barrel cut offs, metal bands – CHECK.  Craftsmanship and Design – strong, sturdy clock with unique one of kind hand cut roman numerals – Check   With these two simple rules we now have an amazing new item which I am very proud of.

In conclusion, please contact us if you have any questions or just would like some additional information on any of our products. Don’t forget to sign up for our online newsletter. It comes out once a month with major coupon codes and sometimes with new products.

Cheers!

Holiday Whiskey Gifts

Come check out our Online Store and see what Holiday Whiskey Gifts you can find. We have Home Decor and Accessories and also furniture. Must see!

Holiday Whiskey GiftsWell it is that time of the year again and as time flies it seem to get here quicker every year. And as always you do not want to wait till the last minute. Especially when it comes to hand made items. Even though we build a good size holiday inventory every fall, we still run out pretty fast by beginning of December. I am not trying to rush you but just as a friendly reminder to make sure no one is left disappointed. After all, no one wants rushed handcrafted work.

If you order before December 8th you are most likely good to go when purchasing Home Decor and Accessories. Excluding our Bourbon Barrel Chess Set. The chess set is very time consuming and a true labor of love. If ordered after we sell what we have in inventory, unfortunately it won’t arrive before christmas. If you have any time frame question please feel free to contact me. balazs@hungarianworkshop.com

Our bourbon barrel furniture line also has a good size inventory built. Anything that we ship as FedEx Ground will also be able to make the December 8th cut off. I wish I could guarantee time frames for our larger items as well. But since they ship as freight, the only way to get something on time is to pay extra for expedited freight with exact date delivery. If you don’t mid the cost we can accommodate for that.

Purchase handcrafted Holiday Whiskey Gifts for your favorite whiskey enthusiast!

Bourbon Barrel Side TableOur Holiday Whiskey Gifts include lots of options. One of the most popular is the Bourbon Barrel End Tables. They have four options which is always great and with a lower price point. These also can ship as FedEx Ground to make the holiday cut off and they also make up a large percent of our inventory. As far as Christmas gifts go, these are a great option I recommend.

Holiday Whiskey GiftsAnother very unique and popular item is our signature Bourbon Barrel Skateboard. It has been in few magazines and catalogs and we have shipped all over the world. It is fully functional or it can be a great addition in someones man cave or whiskey lounge.

Holiday Whiskey GiftsA third option I would recommend is pretty bold and it would make a huge impression on anyone. A full size 53 gallon Bourbon Whiskey Barrel. Luckily we can send these with FedEx as well. However be aware the shipping these is costly. They are big and weight about 100 lbs. FedEx unfortunately puts an oversize fee on them shooting the shipping price over what the barrel actually costs. But the good news is that we can ship these right away and it will land on your doorstep with in 3-5 business days.

if you have any other questions or just need a little more info on something please feel free to contact us. be sure to sign up for our newsletter and follow us on social media.

Happy Holidays from the Hungarian Workshop!

Bourbon Barrel Lounge Table

USE COUPON CODE – LOUNGETABLE to save $100 when purchasing our new design.

Our newest creation is now available! The Bourbon Barrel Lounge Table has a sleek modern design with a rustic charm. Click here to buy now.

After months of product development and mock up work, I finally had time to put the new design into production. It has been a very busy year so finding time to create something new was hard and time consuming. Finally in middle of October I just said, ok we need to pause for a week and add this new table to our Bourbon Barrel Furniture line.

We started with a few at first and I was instantly hooked. It felt great working on something brand new. I love what I do but making the same exact pieces can get a bit repetitive. Not to mention with all the barrels we break down, the barrel head (tops) over stock kept growing and growing. With over 500 sitting on pallets, this design helped start putting a dent into the massive collection. Each table top eats up about 10 which is a big help.

Real quick I want to mention we have our Recycle Bin section of the shop where we sell barrel heads, barrel bands (hoops), barrel cut off and barrel staves them self. We sell them cheap and can ship quick. It’s great material for all sorts of project and I simple don’t have the heart just to throw them all out. Please take a minute and check it out, share with friends and help us cut down the waste. Thank You!

The idea behind the table was to create something modern, sleek, simple and eye catching. When it comes to barrel designs I always mention that I like to take the barrels completely apart. The shape of a barrel is big and bulky and I find it unattractive. That is why you won’t any designs in my catalog where a barrel is fully in tacked.

The two current coffee tables come pretty close but since they have the barrels cut in half, one horizontally  and the other vertically, the shapes looks much better and enticing. With these two designs already out on the market and I wanted the third table to be completely different. No barrel shapes.

Since the legs are only four barrel staves, I wanted to make sure the top has a big impact in showing off what the material really is. With that in mind I used only the barrel heads to create a subway tile like pattern to achieve the look I wanted. With unique distillery markings and endless variation of wood colors and characteristics, every Bourbon Barrel lounge Table is virtually one of kind and a must have for a true bourbon lover.

If you have any questions or comments please feel free to write to us. Be sure to sign up for our online newsletter to receive coupon codes, news and new product updates.

Thank You for stopping by the Hungarian Workshop and have great day!

Kentucky Whiskey Barrels – Hungarian Workshop

“We have an over stock of Kentucky Whiskey Barrels. Full size 53 gallons solid American White Oak. We have Jim Beam, Buffalo Trace, Four Roses etc. Order some today while supplies last!”

CLICK HERE TO BUY NOW!

Kentucky Whiskey BarrelsRight now we have a over 100 Kentucky Whiskey Barrels in our overstock pile. Once we have several hundred broken down drying, ready to be furniture, we like to keep some together and offer it to the public for decoration. Or whatever other kind of projects you might feel like trying with them. After all, the material is awesome! One inch thick quarter sawn American white oak.

We use all the barrels apart. The staves are curved and have beveled edges and come is all sizes. Ranging from half inch all the way to 6 inch. The out side of the wood will have discoloration from the sun and weather, staining from the wood tannins and alcohol. And of course some rusty red stains from the barrel bands. Therefore the cleaning process can be tricky. However, once it’s all been sanded and smoothened out just the right amount the woods patina will look beautiful showing off the Kentucky Whiskey Barrels true history.

The inside of the Kentucky Whiskey Barrels are fully charred and black. The charring is what helps give the whiskey its great taste and color. Cleaning this part will be filthy work. Wire brushing will be you best bet. You will never remove the burned blackened wood unless you grind into about a half an inch or so. But that is not recommend because then you thin out the wood and would take far too long. I did one time found a barrel that had no charring whats so ever. It was just clean oak. I ended up making a chair from it and it was residing at Stone Brewing Company’s Liberty Station location. I think it was chair number 160 or something close to that.

Our Kentucky Whiskey Barrels come from many different distilleries. Most are from the big and famous brand Jim Beam. Jim Beam distillery actually makes a lot of other bourbons. For example if you are looking for a Knob Creek barrel we have them as well, but it will just say Jim Beam with the small letters K and C on the bottom. Another sought after brand is Buffalo Trace. They have one of the most eye catching stamping which makes the furniture come out looking sharp.

Occasionally we get some Jack Daniel’s barrels which are by far the most popular. And for a good reason too. Sometimes their logo is fully burned into the top and side of the barrel which is the best display of the brand. However, anytime we get these Tennessee Whiskey Barrels, we keep them for our self. They become one of the best looking pieces that our clients love to show off in their whiskey rooms.

If you are interested in large quantity (8+ barrels) shipments of barrels please contact me first because we could get a price break for you.

If you have any other question please let me know.

Used Whiskey Barrel Projects

If you ever been to any location of Stone Brewing Company you can see almost all our Used Whiskey Barrel Projects. They are one of our biggest clients and they carry our signature lounge chairs, pub stools, end tables, ottomans and coffee tables. Each piece is handmade with attention to detail. We clean and sand the barrel staves just the right amount to ensure smoother surfaces without removing too much of its original patina.

The Home Decor –

I am very proud of this creation and it is pure labor of love.

“Be sure to browse our complete site to see all our Used Whiskey Barrel Projects!”

The Wall Panels –

This item was created mainly to salvage and use up all our left over staves that did not make the grade to be furniture. By not wanting to throw them away I created an easily installable wall paneling system. My main focus was to able to ship them anywhere and have the customers or their contractor install them with ease. Other places who offer something like this will most likely have to come out and install themselves. Not ours. If you ever hung up a mirror or a large picture, you can install these yourself. All you have to do is find the studs, drill in the wall cleats then hang up the panels.

If you have any further questions or would like a little more information please feel free to email at balazs@hungarianworkshop.com

Don’t forget to sign up for our newsletter which will come out end of this month (September). I will have a big sale on our Bourbon Whiskey Barrel Furniture. You can also follow us on our social media sites to see what new products we are working.

Bourbon Barrel Side Table

Bourbon Barrel Side Table

“We have a great selection of Bourbon Barrel Side Table-s. The most popular has a variation of 4 styles and the interior has 2. Click here and check out our Online Store!”

Bourbon Barrel Side TableOne of the best selling items is the our Bourbon Barrel Side Table. We have made hundreds of them and we pretty much receive orders for them every day. They are ideal to go with our Bourbon Barrel Lounge Chairs or just by themselves. Next to a bed or couch it won’t matter they will still look great and ad a little rustic bourbon spirit in your home. As we mentioned earlier we have them in a few different styles and don’t worry if you hare a Wine Enthusiast. We have the same styles in Wine Barrels as well.

The regular end tables are simple and smart. It is four staves for legs, a nicely recut round barrel head for the top and a barrel band around the edge. This was designed with simplicity in mind to be cost effective. We had way too many barrel heads and barrel hoops just piling up. After all, at one time had to break down over four hundred barrels. After we come out with this design the extra material started to go down.

Bourbon Barrel Side TableThe versions you can choose from are the following:

  • 18″ Tall Outside Barrel Top
  • 18″ Tall Inside Barrel Top
  • 24″ Tall Outside Barrel Top
  • 24″ Tall Inside Barrel Top

The 18″ version is ideal for our lounge chairs or side of lower beds. The 24″ works pretty much all around. The most popular choice for the top is the Outside Top. This will have distillery marking and nice rustic oak patinas. The distillery stamps may includes brand names, dates, warehouse numbers and specific batch numbers. It is the best option for anyone looking to show of an authentic barrel piece with its true history. The inside version means the same barrel top is just upside down. The top will be charred black because the insides of bourbon barrels are completely burned. This is what gives whiskey its great flavors and color. Which ever option you choose I am sure you will love it!

“A Bourbon Barrel Side Table can be a great gift for and Whiskey lover!”

Our second Bourbon Barrel Side Table option the the strictly interior ones. These come at 23″ in height. They have the same top option as our other tables. Inside or Outside. The big difference is the edging. Instead of a barrel band it is made up of sliced up barrel staves. Neatly arranged to create a one of kind uniform look. Because of the extensive work that goes into these Bourbon Barrel Side Table-s, they also have a higher price point. All the extra carpentry work may makes these a bit more but the finished product look much more sophisticated and high end. A perfect show piece for any office, home bar or restaurant.

If you have any further question of would like more info on any of our products please feel free to contact us. Also don’t forget to sign up for our newsletter to receive new product updates and coupon codes that will save you big on your next purchase.
