Where Craft Meets Tradition
Handcrafted from real whiskey barrels…
Used barrels are brought to a Southern California workshop, where each one is carefully reshaped and finished by hand. The oak is refined, the steel reinforced, and full-grain leather stitched with attention to comfort and longevity.
What begins as a working barrel becomes something built for people who value craftsmanship, tradition, and things made to last.
Every piece carries a story shaped by time and use.
This "Saloon Whiskey" recliner is on display at Race For Philanthropy as a reflection of shared values: tradition, care, and taking time to appreciate the moment. While it won’t be used as general seating during the event, guests are invited to sit, settle in, and experience the craftsmanship for themselves.
Go ahead—sit down. That’s the point.
