Wine Rack

2014-10-26T12:29:00.001-07:00

Rustic elegance best describes this wine bottle holder. Although shown as a table top tray (which is one way to use it,), my client will be mounting this piece to a wall. (I would like to show this Rustic Wine Rack mounted but I don't have access to the exact stud and centering location to drill the pilot holes). To keep the bottles from damaging the wall and for added mounting support, I installed a "stopper" board across the full length of the back. This is a beautiful accent piece that would compliment any decor!

WINE RACK

2014-10-21T11:02:00.000-07:00

Reclaimed Rustics received a request for a custom wine glass rack/shelf. The size and stain color (dark walnut) were absolutes but the wood to be used was left up to me. I knew I could go to the local big box home store to find the exact, different sizes and type of wood that would make this project very simple (searching diligently for straight wood at these stores gets old real fast, by the way) but fine wine and old, reclaimed wood just seem to go together so I knew barn wood was the way to go. Not to mention perfection lacks character in this wood workers opinion. (Who hasn't been to a friends perfectly decorated house and felt uncomfortable (like little kids in a museum) to sit on the furniture, let alone step foot on the floor? I often wonder where they hide the "KEEP OFF, STAY OUT and DON'T TOUCH" signs. Anyway, being a Realtor (insert trademark sign here), I can tell you that there is a big difference between a house and a home). Having said that, reclaimed barn wood is very difficult to work with as it is usually twisted, cupped, warped, splintered and/or all of the above. Being that all the pieces making up this beautiful rustic wine rack were short, I was able to salvage decent pieces but that came at the expense of cutting into some of my longer stock.

One huge benefit came by shaving down cupped, 3/4' pine T&G in the table saw. I was able to achieve a natural sloping of the wood holding the wine glass bases that will allow for a thicker, longer flute. All the pieces were cut, sanded, torched, sanded, stained, sanded, sealed, sanded, sealed, sanded, sealed, sanded and waxed (whew).

Here's the cool thing about this Rustic Wine Rack...It's brand new and over 100 years old! I reclaimed the wood from an old wood hut built in the early 1900's, I am not a wine connoisseur but I do understand that some wines do get better with age. I believe the same to be true about wood.

Rustic End Table

2014-08-24T16:51:00.004-07:00

Simple yet elegant best describes this rustic end table. Reclaimed Rustics brought together a newer metal frame with glass shelves and added old 3" tongue and groove barn wood. The glass makes for a nice, smooth surface but the table looks great with or without the glass. $85

Vintage Folding Wood Table

2014-08-24T15:59:00.000-07:00

This is an old, very old table yet innovative in the way it folds and stands. I picture this table with a deck of cards, a bottle of bourbon and a loaded six shooter sitting on top after being pulled from the covered wagon. Well it might not be that old I am curious as to what this old timer has seen. I had to relocate the hinges (and replace one) to sturdy it up which eliminated the wobble. It was given a very light sanding (as the patina is beautiful) and then a good waxing. This rustic, folding wood table would be perfect for a small eating area or used as a display. I searched the history of this table and found the exact one on ebay which was listed as "Antique Vintage Wood Cottage Camp Folding Table".

Vintage Stools

2014-08-17T14:13:00.001-07:00

PALLET ISLAND

2014-07-28T21:58:00.000-07:00

This is Reclaimed Rustics solution for walk-in closet center island (and pallet shoe rack). This Pallet Island is a wonderful example of reclaiming, re-purposing and reusing while making my Queen very happy! Although this Pallet Island has brought new life to our walk-in closet with its added storage, it would make an awesome kitchen island. We added vintage baskets and crates that slide in and out storing sandals, hats, sweatshirts and other clothing, blankets and is a great place to hide the dirty laundry. The top is the perfect folding table and also holds a vintage cauldron to collect spare change. Also on top is a woven basket for the anti-static can, lint removal rollers, buttons and sewing kit. The slatted sides can be used to hang just about anything for easy accessibility. We added an old door knob (that was reclaimed from the house I grew up in) to hold scarfs and across from that hangs an antique shoe horn. We had one pallet left over which we stained dark walnut and mounted in the wall cubby to hold the heels. The possibilities of this pallet island in the kitchen would be limitless - pots and pans, utensils, knife slots, pot holders, serving table, etc - especially with a butcher block topper! would This piece is rustic, attractive, useful and spared the life of one more tree!

VINTAGE ORB LIGHT FIXTURE

2014-07-19T16:01:00.000-07:00

Constructed from reclaimed wine barrel rings, reclaimed rustics is happy to present this very unique, orb light fixture. Due to the bevel of the wine barrel rings, this fixture is naturally imperfect, with an industrial touch. The beauty ring attached to the pendent is a part from a late 19th century DE LAVAL cream separator (which sits on my front porch). It measures about 25" tall and 24.5" wide so yes, it would require high area (which I don't have so my display is lacking at best). It includes everything you need to install or I can install, if local, for an extra fee. This original, rustic gem can be yours for only $150. Contact me with questions at reclaimedrustics@gmail.com

Here's my version of a rustic clock! With a diameter of 29.5 inches, this wire spool clock from Reclaimed Rustics, would make great decor on your outdoor kitchen/patio, hanging over the fire place or at the office. It would demand about the same wall space as a large poster/picture so really any room in the house will welcome this piece.

Rustic Barn Wood Bookcase

2013-03-03T10:51:00.000-08:00

This Rustic, barn wood bookcase is the only one of its kind in the world! Falling apart and on its way to dump, I was able to reclaim what others considered junk, and piece it back together and to rustic, country life. This piece has a very unique divider system. Routed slots run full length vertically and line up with a slot along the front trim pieces. Due to the unique size of the dividers, I had to use panels from vintage wood panel doors to reconstruct as these were the perfect width for the slots.

The base was rotten so I used some reclaimed 2 x 6 lumber to give this rustic bookcase a sturdy foundation. I did my best to match the existing, worn, moss green color on other parts of barn wood of this unit.

Yet another piece I hate to see leave my shop!

Rustic Billiard Light Fixture

2013-02-24T09:04:00.000-08:00

Using a single horse tree, old chain and vintage tin jugs, I was able to create this Rustic Billiard Light Fixture. The piece adds the perfect touch to our rustic, barn wood, basement bar (see my basement bar on this blog site). I left the excess chain hanging for future, higher ceilings and due to it's rustic nature, the excess chain isn't an eyesore. Although this is not a "tournament" billiard table, the lighting created from this Rustic light fixture is impeccable and shadow free!
