Halved Bourbon Barrel

This was a really fun project.  I had a client who wanted a bourbon barrel cut in half to be the legs of a live edge wood table top she had purchased.  I cleaned out the excess char in the interior of the piece, re-burned areas which lost all the char and put a couple coats of polyurethane to keep the char from rubbing off on things.

Wild Turkey Half Bourbon Barrel Coffee Table

This type of bourbon and art piece are among my favorites.  Gotta love Wild Turkey.  First, I halved a Wild Turkey barrel.  Then, I applied several coats of polyurethane and caulk to the charred inside of the barrel to seal it.  I then trimmed out the edge with an oak edge to level it and provide a base for the glass top.  The legs are constructed using bourbon barrel staves mounted directly to the barrel. I intend to add some lights and a display of the key ingredients to the inside of the barrel.

Bourbon Barrel Table

This is a 3/4 bourbon barrel head table.  This piece is made from a bourbon barrel head, rings and staves.  It is built to sit right next to the corner spot on the couch.  Keep your food, drink, remote or whatever you want close right next to you with this end table.  If you are like me and the Makers Mark logo and barrel parts make you thirsty, I can tell you from experience a nice glass of your favorite bourbon is a nice addition!
