Whisky Barrel Pendant Light
£149.00
I handcraft this Whisky Barrel Pendant Light in my one-person workshop near Loch Lomond, giving reclaimed oak a new place in your home.
Simple in shape and full of character, this three-light oak pendant is handmade from a reclaimed Scotch whisky cask stave. I make each one in my small workshop near Loch Lomond, working with the natural curve and grain of the timber.
Handmade with respect for the wood
The oak carries the marks of its earlier life in a whisky cask. I sand and finish each stave by hand, preserving the details that make reclaimed wood individual. Grain, colour and markings vary naturally from piece to piece.

Where this light belongs
The narrow stave and three hanging bulbs suit a kitchen table, dining space or home bar where you want to see the wood itself. Pair it with painted cupboards, linen and a timber table for a country interior, or with a simple worktop and black fittings for a more contemporary setting.
The natural curve introduces a gentle contrast to straight furniture, while the black chain keeps the overall look simple. Grain, colour and markings vary between staves, so the character belongs to the individual piece of oak. Choose compatible E27 bulbs to match your room's lighting needs.
A handmade gift with a story
A handmade oak pendant is a thoughtful housewarming or anniversary idea for someone who values natural materials and Scottish craftsmanship. Its whisky cask origins also make it a fitting gift for a whisky enthusiast, without requiring a preference for one particular distillery. Plan the location with the recipient before choosing a fitted light.
