Wine Cabinet Update

Wine Cabinet 1

 

Our one-of-a-kind Wine Cabinet is finished!  It has historical significance as well as contemporary beauty!  Our craftsman Mark worked on this interesting project after owner Brent Karner designed it.  If you've been following our blog on this piece, our customer, Carol, challenged us to use wood from an old ship named Success, a 1840's British cargo ship which sank and her below-decks teak wood was salvaged from it.  Brent married modern but classic wood techniques and design with the old ship wood to create Carol's new Wine Cabinet.  Copper Waterfall Studio designed the  custom-made copper kettle to chill the wine in.  See more pictures and information in our past blog about this piece in our archived E-newsletters on our websiteWhat is YOUR dream that we can create for you? 

Congratulations to our Monthly Winner!
