Wine Barrel Ring Wall Sconce - Ladder To Heaven - Made From Retired Ca Wine Barrels Rings
In our continuing effort to be environmentally conscious and recycle (and also make more awesome projects), we take retired Napa wine barrel rings and hand make these amazing lights. To create the "Ladder to Heaven" sconce, we hand shape the wine barrel rings by hand (you should se our forearms!) and carefully weld them into place. The design allows the passage of light through and makes a true design statement. Its rugged simplicity looks great with the bulb on or off. The back is recycled steel but the front pieces are the "buckle" of the wine barrel ring (where its joined) and it takes 20 barrel rings to make one light! Modern. Chic. Industrial. Each light is a handmade work of art. Our artisans bend each wine barrel ring by hand (you should see our forearms!) and weld them together to make a screen that lets tons of light through and makes a true design statement. The "Ladder to Heaven" wall sconce is perfect for vanities. The character of these wine barrel rings is captivating; at quick glance, they're all quite similar, but when you look closely you start to see just how diverse they are, and how much they've been affected by their life holding a barrel together.

For Vinya - Alionza - Old Vine Grapevine Coffee Table1.5We enjoyed our custom made grapevine coffee table until we discovered it was infested with wood-eating beetles. An exterminator confirmed these beetles reside in the wood. The table was not salvageable and the bugs destroyed the rug beneath the table. The maker refused to respond to my request for remediation. Before considering spending thousand of dollars on any product from this maker, I strongly urge you to take heed of the following response from Custom Made Support: "The listing clearly stated that the product is made from recycled materials. As such the maker had no way of knowing that the materials used to create your table were infested with bugs."

For Bordeaux - Grapevine Salt And Pepper Grinders4.2All went fine, except that it isn't clear which grinder is for salt and which is for pepper. The one with the black grinding handle has plastic grinder parts, which makes us think it should be for salt. The one with the chrome grinding handle has metal grinder parts, which makes us think it should be for pepper. If this is correct, it seems odd to use chrome for pepper and black for salt.

For Graham's Wood magnetic knife board5.0Wow is all I can say. Michael was phenomenal. The product is perfect and service amazing. It did arrive slightly damaged but Michael paid to ship it back and had it repaired. Then I had to have it shortened because I ended up having a smaller space than anticipated and he took care of everything! Highly recommended.

For Corba - "Elan" - Vanity Wine Barrel Bath Light - 100% Recycled4.8Absolutely floored by how beautiful the craftsmanship turned out. Michael and his team were very professional to work with, prompt in their replies and thorough in their responses. Mounting the custom light fixture turned a bit into a challenge due to my own misconception and weight of the final product, but completely overjoyed that I chose Michael's design and proposal. Highly recommend.

For Wine Barrel Ring Edison Bulb Pendant Light4.7Working with Michael was very easy. Some mods were required for our application of this lamp, which Michael was able to accommodate very easily. There was a small delay in getting shipped across the border, but once that was worked out, (without using a broker or added cost), the courier delivered our item in a few days. We're very happy, we have 4 unique lamps from California wine country in Ontario wine country!

For Wine Rack --5.0The wine rack came much sooner than I had anticipated- it as a nice surprise (not to say I would be upset had it arrived on the anticipate "due date"). I love the "imperfections" and the lack of symmetry. It gives it that beautifully put together look that "homemade" has to offer. I don't know who made it, but I can see their skill and personality. Blends perfectly- NOT obnoxious, NOT too big, and definitely not something I will get tired of looking at. EVER. (I really cannot rate the expertise and value of this product since I don't know what it took on the other end in terms of time and skill. Bottom line, I am happy with the product for the amount I paid).
