What you get

• 10 authentic solid oak whisky barrel staves reclaimed from genuine whisky barrels

Size, variation & care

Dimensions are approximate and vary by piece: length 87–90 cm, width 3–10 cm, thickness 2–3 cm. Due to the reclaimed nature, colour and markings differ in each batch, amplifying each stave’s story.

Care tips: lightly sand to smooth surface while preserving maturation etched by years; seal end grains to reduce moisture uptake; a simple mineral oil or wax boosts warmth; avoid prolonged soaking; clamp during gluing to preserve alignment and minimize tear-out.

• Decorative and craft applications: wall art, signs, photo frames, or handcrafted lighting features

Why this matters

• Unique value: every stave carries age-related markings; no two pieces are identical

Finishing and practical tips

To protect and enhance the wood while preserving its character: lightly sand to smooth without erasing the character; seal end grains to minimize moisture; finish with mineral oil or wax for warmth and tone; avoid soaking or submerging in water; clamp securely when gluing to maintain alignment and reduce grain tearing.
