Barrel Carving

Barrels

Oak barrels evoke images of tradition and quality and lend a touch of class to any cellar. Today barrels are made almost exclusively for the production of fine wines and spirits and used to ferment, age and give wine an oak flavor. Simple and beautiful “custom” designs are not only pleasing to the eye but often follow the wonderful patterns created by nature. The curve of the earth, the roll of a wave or the arc of a branch all create fluid lines that relax the senses.

Imagination is limitless in this art form where a logo can come to life. Scenic views will have an unparalleled canvas. Advertising will hold the consumers attention when they enter a tasting room, a restaurant, a lobby or convention. A private wine cellar will come to life with a personalized barrel carving as will an office or brewery.

The art of barrel carving has a long history and tradition and just as the wood of the barrel enhances the flavor of the wine so will the artistic creations enhance the story and product created within. And just as the winery relies on patience and skill to create beautiful wine the artist relies on those same traits to create wonderful barrel carvings.
