Personalised Whisky Barrel Stave Wall Sign

This sign starts as a stave from a Scotch whisky cask and ends up carrying words or a design you choose. I draw it up, burn it into the oak and finish it myself in my workshop near Loch Lomond.

Each stave spent years holding Scotch whisky before it came to me. Every one has its own curve, width and colour, with marks left by the cooperage, so some come out darker and some lighter. Your sign won't look quite like any other.

How ordering works

• Type the text you'd like in the box when you order. For a logo or picture, describe it in the second box and I'll email you for the file.

• I'll be in touch to agree the final look and send you a design to check before I start.

• When you're happy with it, I burn the design into the oak, oil the stave and post it to you.

A family name with the year you moved in. A couple's names and their wedding date. A favourite toast, such as Slàinte Mhath, above a home bar. A business or club logo for an office or clubhouse.

Frequently asked questions

Can I see the design before you engrave it?

Yes. I send you a draft first and only start engraving once you've approved it.

Can you make it a different size?

Yes. Email me at info@barrelcraftstudio.co.uk with the size you need before ordering, and I'll confirm whether it's possible and the price.

Can I return a personalised sign?

Personalised pieces are made only for you, so they can't be returned unless they're faulty. Every parcel is insured, and if anything arrives damaged, I'll put it right.

Do the photos show my sign?

The photos show examples of my work, and the room photos are example settings showing how a stave can look on a wall. Your sign will carry your own text or graphic, and its grain and shade will be its own.
