Have a cork collection and need an amazing way to store it? Handcrafted from retired Napa valley wine barrel staves in the heart of California wine country, our exquisite art collection will showcase your home or business with a rustic elegance unique to California wine culture. Our "Kala" cork display is for the true wine lovers. Created from the end of a barrel, we replace the barrel head with a custom cut piece of clear Plexiglas (strong and kid friendly!). The back is made from our recycled wine-stained oak planks and matches perfectly. To put corks inside, simply remove the bung from the top and drop it inside. There is a small hinged door on the backside for easy cork removal. Whenever we open a bottle of wine, we write the date and memory of that day on the cork and put it into the holder. At the end of each year, we look at all our corks and remember the year. Its fun! It would be perfect to hang over your wine bar or in a wine cellar to add the authentic feel of Napa to any home. They are irresistible and a fun delight to hang in your wine cellar or bar. The deep red of the staves, earned during years of wine production, really stands out and the wine barrel rings lend a wonderful design element. Beautiful, simple, and elegant in its craftsmanship and very visually balanced. Very "light" piece visually but incredibly sturdy to resist dogs and kids, after all, its solid oak and steel.

For Vinya - Alionza - Old Vine Grapevine Coffee TableWe 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 GrindersAll 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.

Graham Strub
For Graham's Wood magnetic knife boardWow 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.

Michael quickly answered a question I had before purchasing the knife holder, and I received it in record time, packaged perfectly. This was a birthday gift for my husband, and he loves it. It looks great in our kitchen.

For Corba - "Elan" - Vanity Wine Barrel Bath Light - 100% RecycledAbsolutely 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 LightWorking 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!
Heather LaCastro

For Hostess Stand --Thank you for a beautiful host table and the gift samples.

For Porta -- "Rocket" Wine Barrel Bottle Holder -- 100% Recycled Napa BarrelsJacqueline Freidel
For Wine Rack --The 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).
