This collection represents many of the items I have made as custom orders and/or current products in inventory (visit the Store). In fact most of my products started out as “Can you make something like this?”

Wine related items

This is a bulletin board made from wine corks from the customers collection. Dimensions were 16 x 20 and contains 192 corks. If you want one too, but don’t have that many, I have several thousand that I have collected from the many wineries in Oregon as well as those served at the International Pinot Noir Conference held each summer here in McMinnville.

In addition to using wine corks, I also use reclaimed wine barrels. This is a medium charcuterie board made from three staves from a barrel. I keep the curvature of the barrel as part of the design to prevent round items like olives or grapes from rolling off.

At a craft show, a customer asked what stain I used on it. I replied pinot noir! Here is Willamette Valley, pinot noir is the predominate red grape.

These are available in three sizes: Small (6 x 17), Medium (9 x 17) and Large (9 x 27 with handles made from wine barrel bands)

From the wine barrel tops and bottoms, I make lazy Susan turntables. These are 22” in diameter and can be etched with a 1907 map of the Oregon Trail, as shown here, your family crest, business logo or other design of your choice.

For those with smaller tables, I can make a lazy Susan with smaller diameter (16, 18 or 20)

Wine barrel top can also become the top of a bistro table. It can be ordered with or without slots for 4 wine glasses. It is 22” in diameter and 34” high using barrel staves as the legs.

A local winery bought a pair for their tasting room.

Each wine barrel contains 31 staves, one of which has a large hole for the bung plug. That hole is not useful for charcuterie boards or bistro tables, it works great for a wine bottle topper. The hole fits over the neck of a wine bottle and two slots cut in the ends of the stave can hold two wine glasses. With one hand you can carry the glasses and bottle out to your deck, pool side or to the beach with one hand. 12” x 3”

Need a wine rack to display your favorite wines? A wide barrel stave with added white oak dividers and base is 30” long and holds up to 6 bottles horizontally which insures the corks will not dry out.

For Entertaining

Individual Wine & Cheese Tray

Our individual wine and cheese tray solves the problem of being at a party and only having two hands. You can hold the tray with your thumb in the hole, and the wine glass safely in its slot, add munchies to the tray, eat or shake hands with another with the other hand. The L slot prevents the glass from sliding out of the slot if your elbow gets bumped at the party. With the wine glass towards the back, it has a comfortable balance. The tray indentation keeps those yummies on the tray.

Our trays are coated in food contact safe butcher block oil which resists staining allowing easy clean up. 5” x 10” x 5/8” thick. Various hardwoods are available as well as your choice of laser etched decoration via custom order.

These make great gifts for weddings with monogram of the couple, special occasions, or business promotions with your logo. Recently a non-profit animal shelter ordered a number for a fundraiser event using their new logo. At the end of the event, the donors got to take their trays home

We offer cutting boards in a variety of shapes, sizes and prices to fit most any need, decor, or budget. These range from small suitable for cutting cheese or small items at parties to large for meal preparation. The photos are just some of the available cutting boards we have made from a variety of hardwoods and coated with food contact safe butcher block oil for stain resistance and easy clean up.

Like similar products our cutting boards are not recommended for water immersion or dishwasher cleaning. Wiping with a damp cloth drying vertically is usually all that is necessary

Cutting Boards

Charcuterie boards are popular items in our collection. ‘Charcuterie is a fancy French word for really wanting a sandwich but are out of bread”, so goes the social media meme.

We make three sizes of trays from reclaimed wine barrel staves. Small from two staves (17” x 6”), medium from three staves (17” x 9”) and large from three staves full length (32 “ x 9”) which comes with two metal handles made from the barrel bands. All three are coated with butcher block oil for food contact and all come with cork feet. The largest is very suitable for a winery “pick up party” or another big event. We have sold several to a winery for such an occasion.

Charcuterie trays

Small 17 x 6 $20

Medium 17 x 9 $40

Large 27 x 9 with handles from wine barrel bands. $60

We also make other serving trays. Recently we were commissioned to make a large (16 x 20) tray as a Christmas present out of a maple panel etched with a profile of Mt. Hood.

Also useful are lazy Susan trays, Pictured here are one made from a wine barrel top (22” diameter) etched with a 1907 map of the Oregon Trail and a smaller (16” diameter) from a butcher block top cut out for a sink. That one is etched with a stylized sunflower. By custom order, you can have your family crest, business logo or other image. $75 for either.

Our large (12” x 16”) we often call our “lasagna size” is designed for those 9” x 13” casseroles dishes. It comes with two handles so that you can remove that dish from the oven to the trivet and easily carry it to the dining table. $50

Lastly we have our anniversary trivet (11” x 11”) . It is made from champagne corks and can be customized with the names of the wedding couple and their wedding date. If they are having a champagne reception, we can include corks from the reception to make it a truly unique gift.

Wall Decor

State Wall Hanging, 12” x 16”

Oregon state outline and showing where your heart lies. $40 Is there another state where your heart is? Let us make one for you.

The outline is the “left over” from cutting out the Oregon cribbage board (see Just for Fun ) furthering our goal to reuse and reclaim as much as possible.

Recently we were commissioned to make one for a family member who lives in Washington state near the Canadian border. He is also a Sasquatch fan so instead of a heart we added a silhouette of Big Foot near home.

Because we had to do the cutout for Washington, we added a Washington cribbage board to our product line.

Guitar Wall Hanger

Made from a wine barrel stave with metal accents from a wine barrel band. Two metal loops on back to hang from normal picture hander hooks. 26” long. Top shelve to hold picks, capo or tuner. Guitar NOT included!

This was an item that began as a “can you make this?” Christmas present for her son to hold it up away from curious pets. She came back and wanted another for her ukulele. Later I added a shelf for picks and capo as recommended by another guitar player. $30

.

A commission for a for a kitchen wall hanging. 16” x 20”. She sent an image from the internet that I altered to include two “wine glasses” because it is not good to drink alone! Scrap red ribbon was used for the wine filling the glass.

Custom Cork Bulletin Board

A commission from a woman who had received one of our small cork trivets as a Christmas present from a neighbor. She wanted a bulletin board (16” x 20”) made from corks she had collected from their travels. This board contains 192 of those corks which took care of most of the collection.

The remaining ones went into two small trivets she ordered for her adult daughters at the same time.

Do you need a similar bulletin board? Your corks or mine? $100

Another commission was for an individual player. He was active in both soccer and basketball and had medals to display. Working with his mother, we designed the unique hanging unit.

We can make one for other sports or academic achievements. Let us know your wishes.

Custom Cribbage Board

Oregon board for up to three players. 11” x 15” and includes a pocket for the pegs which are included with the board. $40

At an event, someone said they wanted one as a gift for a friend, but he was an Oregon State fan so we made one with OSU and an orange pocket (one of the school colors). This was the result. As this is a big rivalry here in Oregon, the OSU version has been a popular option.
