Just imagine your logo carved into a beautiful barrel section and then mounted on the wall of a restaurant, wine bar, sport bar, tradeshow or any other place where you believe your brand will grow with the exposure such a unique piece will bring.

What a thrill it was to get a call from members of the “Cooper” clan. It was an honor to carve their crest onto a barrel. This was one of the few full-sized barrel requests since most clients prefer to hang a barrel “end” on a wall or wine cellar door. However, this piece suited the project best by being fullsized and adorning the entrance way of their home.
This barrel top carving measures almost four feet across. Therefore I had to custom make it since barrels of that dimension just don’t exist. I used western red cedar instead of oak to keep the weight down and then hand carved the train track scene to a depth of about two inches. After painstakingly painting all the little rocks and flowers I finished the piece with a couple of coats of high quality stain.
This barrel top carving now lives in The Garret Station Restaurant in Los Gatos, California. If you happen to be in the area I highly recommend you drop in to sample the menu in one of their fine and fun restaurants. Just visit their web site for all the information and be sure to bring your appetite and be ready to have a great time!
I love the inscription provided by the client for this barrel carving.
I want you to know at no time would I ever entertain the notion I am, on any level, as good as Michelangelo. I just humbly attempted to recreate his genius with this carving of the famous hands of Adam and God which Michelangelo painted on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
