Bringing together the aged rustic feel of weathered barn wood with a modern sense of design, these free-standing wine racks are made from steel and solid pieces of reclaimed wood. Each securely holds four 750-ml wine bottles (both the thickest and the thinnest bottles) and lets you display the labels of your favorite wines. These wine racks are made to order and each is unique. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions after reading this listing.
These barn wood wine racks are made with wood reclaimed from barns, farmhouses and similar structures from around Vermont and New England. In the past, I've worked with 1800s spruce and hemlock reclaimed from a camp in Essex Junction and a barn from the Northeast Kingdom. I am currently working with hemlock reclaimed from an 1837 Ferrisburgh, Vermont, farmhouse and an 1860s Ferrisburgh barn. Tight-grained, old growth native woods are hard to come by in Vermont and New England these days, but in these historical, reclaimed timbers this beautiful wood lives on.
The wood is planed and sanded more than in my "Dark Barnwood" wine racks, giving it a lighter feel while still retaining the character and age of the wood, including the dark metal stains from the extracted nails.You can expect to see not only the grain and aged character that nature gave this beautiful wood, but also the signs of use and history that humans brought to it - including nail holes and the darkened iron stains from those nails. When possible, I leave nails still embedded in the wood. These nails are sometimes visible on the surface, but are often buried below the surface.
These wine racks have black oxide steel bases, giving them both stability and a "modern meets rustic" look. Bases made from reclaimed New England slate or bluestone are also available.
MADE TO ORDER.
Please note that the wine racks you see in these photos are not necessarily the same wine rack you will receive. Each wine rack is unique and individually made - wood grain, color, and the patina/character of age varies. I've included photos of several light barn wood wine racks to give you a sense of some of the variations you can expect from this Vermont barn wood.
I am happy to work with you to make sure your wine rack has the characteristics you desire, including sending photos of the process and wood options for your rack.
TURN AROUND AND SHIPPING.
Wine racks are made to order. Turn around is normally faster, but due to the volume of current orders, please allow 4-6 weeks from the time you place your order to the time it is completed and shipped.
If the quoted shipping cost is more than the actual cost (including materials) I will refund the balance to you after shipping. Depending on shipping costs to your area, priority shipping is often available with no additional charge.
