“What Once Embraced the Fruit of the Vine” – Reclaimed Wine Wood for Your Custom Home Accessories

Did you know that wine wood, the wood used for aging and flavoring wine, can be reclaimed by CustomMade artisans and given new life in beautiful custom accessories for your home?

Why use wine wood?  In addition to the environmental benefits of reusing a valuable resource, this medium has an aesthetic dimension that Randy Pearson of Sandman Productions describes wonderfully.

Feel the warmth of aged oak.  See the rich purple patina and smell the unmistakable red wine bouquet.  What once embraced the fruit of the vine is reclaimed to beautify your home in graceful elegance.

In this custom self-balancing wine barrel stave balancing bottle holder, the oak and wine meet again.  This whimsical, eye-catching piece would be perfect for showcasing a special bottle of wine.  You can contact Randy and request laser engraving or other customizations for your own custom bottle holder.  Check out his CustomMade portfolio for more examples of his completed works in recycled wine wood.

Would you like a dark Pinot Noir or a light Pinot Grigio stain for your wine oak? For your custom project, Cliff and Leigh Spencer of Cliff Spencer Furniture Maker can use reclaimed white oak staves that were placed in steel vats to add flavor to wine.  In turn, the wine has uniquely stained these staves.  The Cliff Spencer Furniture Maker portfolio features a wide range of works made from wine wood, like the lattices on these reclaimed wine oak sconces with steel frames and antiqued amber glass.  Contact Cliff and Leigh and ask about customization options for your wine wood sconces or other accessories.

Vineyard scenes can be carved into casks by woodworker Kenneth M. Davis of K. M. Davis Woodcarving.  This hand-carved wine cask features a gorgeous grapevine design.  The planks and aging of the reclaimed wood are still visible, too, and add another layer of character to this work.  Kenneth can also carve designs into faux cask ends as well as functioning barrels on display in tasting rooms, wine cellars, or restaurants.  Send Kenneth a message and discuss your wine wood carving ideas.
