“Barrels made from one inch American White Oak, with 6 steel hoops are typically going to be Whiskey Barrels. Join us for quick peek of what we use them for.”
We do occasionally sell full size Whiskey Barrels when we have plenty to spare. However, that usually lasts only about a month or so then our prices sky rocket simply because I am not trying to get rid of any more. Our Whiskey Barrels stock will include brands such as, Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, Makers Mark, Buffalo Trace, Four Roses just to name a few. But selling Whiskey Barrels is not what the Hungarian Workshop is about at all. Our main focus is what the barrel’s next life will be – FURNITURE.
You would be surprised how amazing the material these old and used Whiskey Barrels can provide. The oak has been through years of stress and curing which makes for the ideal up-cycling concept. After the whiskey gets poured out the wood start to dry once again getter harder and more dense. The colors and the wood’s patina are beautiful! The dark greens, browns, blacks all mesh together perfectly resulting a strong rugged style look.
I try to stray away from the description of my furniture as “rustic”. I fine with calling the material rustic but no the piece its self. When I think rustic, old, wobbly, broken pieces come to mind. I try to drive my designs towards the “Classy Rustic”. The ideas is to see the furniture first, then upon further inspection notice what its made from. That is why you may notice a minimum amount of fully intact barrels used in any of my pieces.
