Abstract: The article focuses on a unique project involving the repurposing of barrel staves from decommissioned whiskey, bourbon, and brandy casks to create cladding for a restaurant's bar and walls. The project was commissioned by a partner of the restaurant who also sells small oak barrels for aging cocktails. The author describes the challenges of working with the uneven and curved staves, detailing the meticulous process of sorting, cutting, and assembling them into a horizontal weave pattern. The finished product not only serves as a distinctive design element but also fosters conversation and connects different aspects of the restaurant's identity. [Extracted from the article]
