Extremely Captivating, it may be difficult to let go… Handcrafted from locally sourced Opus 1, Rutherford and Stags Leap Napa wine barrels in the heart of California wine country, our exquisite wine furniture collection will showcase your home or business with a rustic elegance unique to California wine culture. Available in a wide variety of designs and customizable options, our extensive collection is sure to be the most functional piece of art you own! After years of making amazing wines (which I'm SURE you have enjoyed) these barrels are retired and taken to my shop to take on mew life as art and furniture. Carefully taken apart and dried for up to a year before it is sanded and finished with natural organic food grade Tung oil to protect it for a lifetime of use. The "Barana" handrail is standard only in length. It has remarkable movement in each piece drawing the eye upwards on a staircase. Years of wine producing have aged this wood with all the striations of color from drawing the rich wine. Each piece is hand stripped and sanded silky smooth. These retired wine barrels have brought joy to millions of wine drinkers, and although their wine making days are behind them, their distinctive character lasts on. With some careful shaping and finishing, each piece becomes a work of art suitable for warming the heart of a true wine lover. INCLUDES: 1 x Barana Handrail, all mounting hardware*, plus extra goodies from the shop, my treat! *We send at least 1 mounting bracket for every 2 feet of handrail length, you could use them all or just a few. DIMENSIONS: Width: 2-3 inches, Length: 2' through 18' lengths. Anything over 7' is shipped in two or three sections to be assembled in the field. I can custom make them any length. Assembly is easy! See video How-to link below. MOUNTING: Can be mounted vertically or horizontally (wide side or narrow side up or down). Depending on the length you may see the lid groove on the same side, or on opposite sides of the handrail. Some lengths end up being an "S" shape and some lengths end up being an "M" shape. **See above photos. THIS IS TOTALLY NORMAL and has nothing to do with mounting the handrail, it is just an part of the overall design and aesthetic. To keep the price down I ship anything over 7' in 2-3 pieces otherwise it ships freight and that gets pricey quick. It takes less than 5 min to attach and install, just the time for a quick cocktail. Its super easy.

Hi! I'm Michael and I am a full time artist.
I love designing and building fun projects!
I specialize in creating tables and other furniture out of 60-100 year old retired grape vines from California's premiere wine growing region.
What I have online is not even 1/4 of what I design and build so if you have an idea for something new and exciting, challenge me to design and build it for you!
Proud to be 100% Green and made in the USA!
Check out my Facebook, Etsy, Instagram and Pintrest pages for the latest innovative projects. Its truly amazing what I do in my shop!

For Porta -- "Rocket" Wine Barrel Bottle Holder -- 100% Recycled Napa BarrelsRichard Padlo
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 Wall Hanging Candle / Flower Holders - Set Of 12 - 100% Recycled Wine BarrelsExcellent on all accounts. Pieces look great. Highly recommended.

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.
