Arts and Crafts Furniture From Wine Barrels

A posting on a woodworking list I subscribe to pointed me to Whit McLeod's website. He advertises his furniture as being created using reclaimed wood from the California wine industry.

I don't know that I'd ever buy any of his products, but I have to admit that I think the whole idea is very cool.

I'd be suspicioous of smells on warm days, and wood that might be quite oddly coloured. Maybe not bad smells, or colour but be careful It is pretty cool that it's being recycled and not burnt or scrapped. Posted by: Fred at January 25, 2005 10:31 AM
You'd certainly feel that the furniture came with a built-in history, wouldn't you? ;-) Posted by: Nicholas at January 25, 2005 01:58 PM
