We’ve made our giant whisky barrels into water butts, capable of holding up to 110 gallons of rainwater. Ideal for anyone looking to make use of the abundance of Scottish rainwater we have!

Add-on details:

• Tap: our taps are sourced externally, but they are still made from timber.
• Stand: made from any selection of reclaimed timber, see photographed. When choosing unfinished for your barrel, your base will also remain unfinished. For finished, your stand will be painted black as standard.
• Lid: made from a genuine a whisky barrel lid which is completely sanded, everything is secured together underneath and 2 stave handles are fitted. When you choose a finished barrel, your lid will also be finished.

Finish options:

• Natural: steel bands and oak staves and tap are left raw, and the inside and top edge are sanded down with a wire brush for safety. Optional extras are also left raw (sanded smooth), with no finish.
• Finished: metal bands painted silver, inside and top edge is sanded down, oak staves and tap finished with UV oil protection. This will apply to all optional extras.

Colour Disclaimer

Each whisky barrel will be slightly different in colour and texture, and these are natural characteristics of our reclaimed casks due to the nature of wood. As a result, every item will appear slightly different. If you require matching items, please let us know and we’ll do what we can to ensure as close a match as possible. Everyone’s screens are also different which also affects the finish colours you see. We try to edit our photos to show the samples as life-like as possible, but we cannot guarantee the colour you see accurately portrays what your final purchase may look like.

Then, one of our woodworkers will guide you through the process of building your very own bench. From start to finish, they’ll demonstrate every step which goes into transforming a pile of reclaimed scaffold boards into a finished product. There’ll be a break for lunch half way and at the end you’ll be able to take the bench away with you*.

You’ll finish your bench with a clear stain, our most popular finish option which highlights all the character within the reclaimed wood whilst helping to prolong the life of the product.

The session begins at 10:00am and will finish at approximately 2:00-3:00pm.

*This won’t be on the day – we’ll arrange with you a later date to collect as the bench will need curing/drying time.

The session will begin with some general housekeeping, introductions to the other participating elders and younglings, and a chance to familiarise yourself with the workshop before the spooky crafting begins.

Then, one of our experienced woodworkers will guide you through every step of the build process. Once you’ve selected your ghoulish faces, they’ll show you how to use the tools to construct your pair of rustic lanterns, perfect for lighting up doorsteps, pathways, and haunted corners of the garden.

Then at the end, there’ll be finish available to paint your lanterns in your chosen colour/s. At this point, your creations must remain in our care awhile longer as they dry. You’ll then be summoned to collect it before the big day, otherwise they’ll be left to the spirits.

This session is suitable for beginners and makes a fantastic introduction to woodworking, creative reuse, and seasonal crafting. Whether you’re decorating for trick-or-treaters or simply adding a touch of autumn magic to your home, you’ll leave with two unique handmade lanterns to enjoy year after year.

The session begins at 11:00pm and will finish at approximately 2:00pm.

You’ll begin the day with a short tour of our South Street workshop, where you’ll learn about the journey reclaimed timber makes: from sorting and “stickering” to preparing for reuse. From there, we’ll take you through the complete build process: cutting, assembling and finishing your bookcase. There’ll also be the opportunity to choose how many and where your shelves will be fitted too. Midway through the session we’ll take a lunch break, then reconvene to complete and finish your Suilven.

You’ll finish your bookcase with a clear stain, our most popular finish option which highlights all the character within the reclaimed wood whilst helping to prolong the life of the product. We’ll then arrange with you a later date to collect as the bookcase will need curing/drying time.

The session begins at 10:00am and will finish at approximately 4:00pm.

Leg styles

Our standard metal frames are trapezoid or X/cross in shape, available in both raw metal and black powder coated. We’re also able to fit black powder coated spider frames too. We think these are great for offering something a little more contemporary, perfect for any office or studio space. We source our metal frames from a UK-based supplier. Chat to us if you’re looking for different colours or styles, including collapsable (photographed) or completely bespoke.

Finishes

Including smooth, clear, light, medium or dark stain (indoor or outdoor), or a colour – you’ll be able to find the best option to suit your space. We use Loxkin for all our natural wood finishes, and Osmo for our coloured options because of their high environmental standards. Head to our finishes page to learn more. We’re also a Loxkin stockist, so please visit our retail space to view the range and speak to the team about ordering in what you require.

Colour Disclaimer

Colour, grain, knotting, scarring, lettering and the odd paint mark are all natural characteristics of our reclaimed board products due to the nature of wood. As a result, every item will appear slightly different. If you require matching items, we’d recommend ordering together and specifying what you’d like to ensure as close a match as possible.

Everyone’s screen is different, which also affects the finish colours you see. We try to edit our photos to show the samples as life-like as possible, but we cannot guarantee the colour you see accurately portrays what your final purchase may look like.

If there are specific characteristics you’d like your product to have, please provide these details (along with your desired finish type) in the customisation section.
