Another busy Monday morning in the Rustic Vibes workshop! 🍷🛠️
There's a lot more to a w**e barrel than meets the eye.
When you see one of our finished w**e barrel bars, it's easy to overlook just how much work goes into getting it there.
Every barrel arrives at our workshop with its own history. Years of w**e staining, weathering, marks and imperfections — all part of its previous life.
Before we can even begin transforming it into furniture, there's the process of stripping it back, sanding, preparing and restoring the oak.
And that's just the beginning!
From constructing the cabinetry and fitting the hardware through to staining, finishing and allowing everything to cure, there's plenty happening behind the workshop doors.
It's certainly not the quickest way to make furniture, but there's something incredibly rewarding about giving these old barrels a completely new purpose.
Just another day giving old w**e barrels a second life! 😊
