“You can now choose Buffalo Trace Bourbon Barrel End Tables as an option when purchasing. It is for a limited time so act now while supplies last.”

When it comes to reclaimed bourbon barrel furniture everyone has their favorite distillery. For our end tables we usually picked the tops at random since we had barrels from a wide variety of distilleries. Sometimes customers put in requests for specific brands they favored but that’s as much as they could do. But now for a limited time, we are able to offer you the option to choose from a few main brand distilleries.

Last month we received a large quantity of barrels from a couple big name brands and we broke them down and organized them. We noticed that majority of barrels are from 6-7 major distilleries. Not to mention these were the common ones customers frequently asked for. After a long month of breaking down barrels and organizing the inventory we had our seven finalists. Click here to check out the options.

Buffalo Trace Bourbon Barrel End Tables have been the most popular this holiday season. It is a very well loved brand and they truly make some exquisite bourbons. Needless to say if you are a big fan of theirs, you know very well they also make some of the other big name bourbon whiskies. Im sure you heard of Pappy Van Winkle, right? Yep they make that too. Please check out their website to learn more about these amazing bourbon crafters.

If you have any questions please contact us or email me directly balazs@hungarianworkshop.com

I must mention again that the options we are offering are just for a limited time only while supplies last. Also when it comes to specific bourbons, the distilleries don’t actually put the complete names on with stamps. For example: Jim Beam also makes Knob Creek, but on the barrel it will only say Jim Beam and batch numbers with the K and C letters indicating which bourbon it is.

Last year an amazing spot opened up in wine country. In Napa Valley Stone Brewing Company has an incredible spot right by the water in a historic building.

In the Spring of 2017 the Hungarian Workshop was working on one of the biggest orders for Napa Valley Stone Brewing Company. With 70+ pieces it was the busiest season ever. The order consisted of 40 dining room chairs (the most complex and time consuming item) 8 dining room tables that had pretty much a full barrel as the base. Along with 16 lounge chairs and 6 end tables. Needless to say we were backed up for weeks and shop was packed full.

After everything was completed I felt like a huge weight has been lifted of my shoulders. When it comes to working with Stone I make their orders the biggest priority. After all, we have been partners with them since our beginning and we do the most repeat business with them. In their Escondido location in southern California they actually still have lounge chair #2. I own #1 and just last week we finished chair #837.

When I visited Napa Valley Stone Brewing Company in the late spring of 2017 just after we delivered their order, the location was still under construction. As usual, all major restaurants will be smart and order the necessary furnishings way before hand. Even with the regular construction delays and what not, it is best to be ahead of schedule rather than be scrambling right before opening week.

Since the doors opened in Napa Valley Stone Brewing Company I have not had a chance to visit again. But on social media I have been following their progress. The place looks amazing. All our chairs are looking out from the patio over looking the water. It looks like an amazing spot to relax, sit back and enjoy a delicious Stone beer.

Cheers!

The table is 42″ tall and you can choose which side of the barrel head you want facing up.

Whiskey Barrel Bar Sets

“San Diego Barrel Furniture by the Hungarian Workshop. If you ever visited a Stone Brewing Company location you most likely have sat in one of our chairs. “

We are currently running a big sale on most of our barrel furniture. Right now the sale is mainly focused on our Kentucky Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey barrel furniture. All our pieces are handcrafted and were designed for comfort and elegance. Our most popular and best seller is our Lounge Chairs which we have created over 800 of in the past six years. These chairs come in a couple different variations. You can choose to have them made from Wine or Whisky barrels, and also what style you want to back rest to be. Weather you want them to be rocking chairs and if you prefer and interior version with Italian leather upholstery.

When you are deciding between Wine or Whiskey (Bourbon) keep in mind wine is more of a lighter oak with red stains left behind from the wine itself. Bourbon whiskey barrels are much more darker with brown, black and dark green patinas. The inside is charred black. We offer much more information on Wine and Bourbon barrels so if you would like to do a little bit more reading on this subject please click the links and scroll to the bottom of the page. (Wine) (Bourbon)

There is the “Closed Top” and “Open Top” back rest option, both feel great and now you have choice to mix and match sets.

The other option is if you want your chair to be a rocking chair. Our signature Recurved Rockers are one of kind since we actually re-bend the wood to allow a proper rocking motion. Barrels them self don’t actually have a clean and steady curve so this concept creates the best rockers on the market.

“Relax and sip on your favorite wine, whiskey or beer in style.”

The last and final option you can choose is the Italian leather upholstery version. If you prefer to go the high end interior route, you can now have a beautifully tufted upholstered barrel chair handcrafted strictly for indoors. The seat and backrest have a thick and soft cushioning which makes these chair the finest quality all around. We offer six different colors:

• Bourbon
• Sangria
• Merlot
• Espresso
• Stout
• Scotch

The interior leather chairs are usually not on sale since a lot of work goes into making them. Since they are mostly made to order we won’t have a bunch sitting around waiting to go on sale. Estimated time of completion for them is about 4-6 weeks. The leather its self comes from Italy so please be patient.

Right now for our standard Bourbon Barrel Lounge Chairs we are offering 30%OFF. And most other Bourbon Barrel furniture are on sale for 20%OFF. This sale will be going all month long!

If you have any question or just need a little more info please don’t hesitate to contact us or email me directly – balazs@hungarianworkshop.com

Please be sure to sign up for our monthly newsletter to receive instant savings and to see what new projects we are coming out with.

“We now have a couple Tennessee Whiskey Barrel Furniture avaiable for those true JD whiskey collectors. Limited supplies available. Act now!”

In the recent few months we have acquired some amazing JD barrels. They feature the company’s brand showing off the barrels true history. These are a must have for any whiskey collector who is a fan of the brand. The only thing is, these are very limited and may not always available. In the past 5 years we have only came across a couple dozen. Our suppliers receive barrels mostly from Kentucky so obtaining these Tennessee Whiskey ones is rare. Each product in the category list will say how many is available for purchase at that time.

Tennessee Whiskey Barrel Furniture

In our Tennessee Whiskey collection we have three items and one set which is made up of three pieces. Since it is the most popular item we make, we have the lounge chairs of course, and the Recurved Rockers available in the Tennessee Whiskey option. We also came out with a new nightstand design which is also available in regular bourbon and wine barrel version too. The set we offer is a Pub Table and two Pub Stools with a memory swivel to go along with the table.

The Lounge Chair – Tennessee Whiskey Style

This is our standard very popular lounge chair design that is loved by many. Same model and measurements all around. The main difference is just the branded logos put on by the company. We try to use about five staves which feature some part of the brand. The two front legs and one arm will have distinguished marking. Since the complete logo often lands of a few small skinny staves, we try to use those as well which work great for some parts in the back.

The Recurved Rocker 

This piece will pretty much feature the same elements that the standard lounge chair will.  Five stave will show off the branding. The recurved bottom stave will allow for a sweet rocking motion while you relax with your favorite beverage.

The Nightstand –

Our new nightstand is very similar to our end tables. They are a little shorter (20″) to accommodate a standard bed height and feature a bottom shelve for any additional storage that maybe needed. These are available in Bourbon and Wine barrel as well. The Tennessee Whiskey versions will have a branded top with the full JD brand.

The Pub Set –

Last but not least is our Tennessee Whiskey Pub Set. The set is made up of one of our signature Pub Table and two Pub Stools to go along with it. The pub table will have a fully branded top and the stools will have couple of their leg staves branded as well. Making it a true Tennessee Whiskey barrel furniture set.

All these items are also available in regular bourbon and wine barrel versions. If you have any additional question of would like just a little more information on anything please don’t hesitate to contact us or email me directly. balazs@hungarianworkshop.com

Have a great day, Cheers!
