Vintage Oak Half Whiskey Barrel Planter

Vintage Oak Half Whiskey Barrel

These vintage oak half whiskey barrels are ready to go as rustic decor items. Made of white oak and steel barrel hoops, these barrels have spent many years in old warehouses storing smooth southern whiskey. Throughout the years they react to the changing seasons, weathering the wood, and leaving a beautiful patina on the old oak wood. The steel hoops will have rusted slightly, adding to the aged look of these vintage half barrels. Interesting Tidbit: The insides of these barrels were charred to improve the flavor of the whiskey.

Ideas for Use: Planters: These vintage whiskey barrels make great looking rustic planters for your flowers or vegetable plants. Footstools: The rustic half whiskey barrels make great footstools or ottomans if you flip them so that the bottom is up. It is not recommended to use it as a step-stool, remember they're very old and may not hold that much weight. Barrel Fountains: If you are a skilled woodworker, you can build a terrific barrel fountain with several of these vintage half barrels. Coffee Tables: Being the proper height, these weathered half whiskey barrels make unique rustic coffee tables for your living room. Even better, use two half barrels and lay an old barn wood plank across the top of the barrels to make a regular sized coffee table. Ice Chest/Wine Cooler: Imagine storing your wine in this half whiskey barrel at your next party. Just line the inside with waterproof plastic liner, fill with ice, and you're ready to go. Organizer: The half whiskey barrels make great rustic and unique organizers to store odds and ends in.
