This is Ash lumber that was salvaged from structural beams in a collapsed, 125 year old barn. We made a breakfast nook table top to replace the commercially-purchased table made from wood-like material. We used epoxy to provide a nice surface while giving strength. With some bow ties and a little bit of universal dye, we felt like we had a great symphony, rot, wormholes, and all!

The wood was selected to fit a “whisk(e)y” theme. The Oak represents the oak of whiskey barrels. We used a vinegar ebonizing technique to recreate the toasted look of the inside of whiskey barrels…without the mess. Cherry was selected for the shelves and inlays to capture the rich brown/red color of whiskey.
