This is our latest in far out designs.
The homeowner has ponderd and debated on just how he would like his “Pirate Galley” would look like. This is the end result after getting the go ahead 3 months ago.
The cabinets are clear alder with a heck of a lot of custom distressing.It was acomplished with the use of a belt sander. a grinder and a lot of sanding to make all grooves soft with no sharp edges. The desire was to have a smooth worn look rather than the typicall ” beat to heck” look.
Then the finishes were applied to give each section its own unique apearance. The island is a brown with black accents while the wall cabinets were a black with brown accents. The base barrels are white oak whisky barrels from Kentucky Barrell company. We had to figure out how to cut into a barrell with out it flying apart. Construct the doors and install the lazy susans. While the uppers are cedar from Maine Barrell company. (Kentucky Barrell has some serious issues with honesty and customer service incompentance. I would NOT recomend useing them) Due to the cedar barrells being constructed for display use. (not to any kind of cabinet specs) We had to dissasembel them and use the parts to construct the doors. A huge pain but it paid off.
The granite work was done by a man that learned how to apply copper to granite while employed at Disney Land. Very talented man.
For more information you can see the complete project on our website / blog.
Thanks, Dion

Wow. I don’t know where to start. Such detail and creativity into one project. Not to mention the mixed media of stone, off the shelf parts and finishing. I’m impressed. Keep up the good work. BTKS

Great job. Very cretive. I’m sure with time, some softening of the finish, and some natural distressing it will become even more impressive.

This is just fantastic. I think you achieved your goal and I’m sure the customer was completely satisfied with the outcome. Maybe a removable “walk the plank” cuttingboard would be a neat addition.
Very creative work and thanks for posting!

Awesome craftsmanship! Well done!
So what’s theory behind the Fussball table in the galley? Seems an odd place and time to want to play Fussball.

Foosball, Pool Table, Monster screen TV!! This is their entertainment galley. Behind the fridge is a small bar room and behind that is a very nice theater room.
This was built so his teen age boys had a place to gather, eat and just hang out. The pool is just out side and a weight room is around the corner.
I agree with the comment about Kentucky Barrels. However I believe that people should be warned when there is a problem. I could have gone into the lies and pure Bs that I have gotten over the last 3 months from them but I wont. Ive had to go through my credit card company to recover monies paid that they cant seem to refund. I hope I save someone the aggravation that Ive had to go through. Its interesting the amount of people that are haveing the same type of issues.
