Know before you buy
Yes, each piece is crafted from authentic, repurposed bourbon barrel heads. Because they are reclaimed materials, each item retains the original barrel char on the back, adding to the rustic, historical character of the piece.
The barrel head comes ready to display with a pre-drilled hole on the back. You will simply need a sturdy screw or hook in your wall to support the 8-pound weight of the wood.
No, the lake area is hand-filled with a vibrant blue epoxy inlay. This creates a smooth, durable surface that contrasts beautifully with the natural wood grain and is sealed with a clear coat for protection.
The collection features a variety of specific Kentucky lake maps. You can select your preferred location from the available options to ensure the artwork highlights the body of water most meaningful to you.
The barrel head measures approximately 21 inches in diameter. Given its circular shape and rustic aesthetic, it works best on a wall with enough clearance to let the wood grain and epoxy details stand out as a focal point.
The piece is finished with a clear coat, so it is low-maintenance. You can keep it looking its best by occasionally dusting it with a soft, dry cloth; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the finish or the epoxy.
