This was an idea for a business that never got off the ground (you’d be surprised how many people are making stuff out of recycled wine and whiskey barrels!). So now it’s become a hobby: I design and my friend and master carpenter Joe Thompson builds. Here are photos of some of the items we’ve made. Of course, if something strikes your fancy, we’ll be happy to build you one. Everyone is handcrafted and no two items are alike. Just drop me a line at johntomick@gmail.com if you’re interested 0r call me at 224.330.7470.
