Wine barrel project

Those are as exquisitely done as I’m sure the wine they once contained! I’m sure that your father and family look at them with their own unique sense of appreciation because you used YOUR skills to honor and acknowledge something that is apparently dear to THEM!

Very well done! (I would have said “Very TASTEFULLY done!” but you would have probably snickered at the thought! . . . Hic . . .)

Cheers!

Really cool project. Do you mind if I ask wah you got the barrels for? I’m just curious because I am going to a winery this fall and maybe I’ll pick up a couple…

Great project!
Nice wood!

Lots of wineries around here. I think I’ll check them out.
Thanks for posting.

We’ve been told by one of the owners of one of the wineries we frequent that they’ll have a lot of neutral barrels to get rid of in September, after they bottle. Very nice and creative. I’m going to make a pair of Adirondack chairs ala winecountrywhimsy and gift it to them in thanks for the barrels.

Great post!

Your dad and aunt, and I share the love of wine.

And, I do have to get some kind of pick-up truck.

Great Idea!!

Very nice work. The coffee table looks more too complicated for my meager skills. I have discovered one thing about the barrels. Over time the staves will shrink and the hoops will be slack. With your design you should have no problem, but I have found a few projects that I have made with full barrels or barrels cut in half, the staves need to be secured by with screws through the barrel hoops. Just a note of warning.

Great work!
