Wine Barrel Pet Bed
Having two dogs and one used wine barrel inspired this idea. And to further the concept, a uniquely sized dog pad with four different patterns made by P.L.A.Y. in San Francisco is included. The frame of the bed is made from a reclaimed wine barrel. Each of the staves are connected the steel bands to ensure a lifetime of use. A rich finish is applied to the furniture-grade oak. The ped is also made from recycled materials from P.L.A.Y. Four different patterns are available. The pads are machine washable and designed to last for years. Each bed frame is made-to-order and unique to the barrel from which it comes. Slight variations in the number of bands and wood finish are expected since this is a natural product. A small metal plate with your pet's name could be added for a small additional cost.

Wine Barrel Concepts
I managed to make two dog beds from an empty wine barrel. I found, after an Internet search that this was not a new concept, but I made mine better; my finish was more upscale and consequently partnered with a pet bed company in San Francisco. In short, that was the genesis of Wine Barrel Concepts.
With a little work and creativity, I make a piano into an artistic table. So many people have never seen the inside of a piano and within all pianos vests a beautiful steel frame with elegant wooden pieces and visually intersecting strings. Their geometry is unique and many are discarded after years of use.
Further, I have salvaged materials from St. Mary's Cathedral and The War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco. And from these salvaged items I have made many more interesting and creative pieces.
There is a great sense of creativity from what I do and often enjoy new ideas and projects. There is something to be said about making something by hand from an object others see everyday.
