Know before you buy
Yes, the tray is finished with a food-safe raw linseed oil, making it suitable for serving appetizers or snacks directly on the surface.
Assembly is minimal. You will need to attach the four steel hairpin legs to the pre-drilled points on the barrel head, which typically requires only a basic screwdriver.
No, each tray is unique. Because they are crafted from upcycled bourbon barrel heads, you should expect variations in wood grain, markings, and color that reflect the history of the original barrel.
The tray is sturdy enough for serving appetizers or displaying decor, but it is not intended to support heavy kitchen appliances or excessive weight.
Wipe the tray clean with a damp cloth after use. Avoid submerging it in water or using harsh detergents, and occasionally re-apply a food-safe mineral oil or linseed oil to keep the wood conditioned.
