Barrels and Casks
Creations with barrels or casks costs vary wildly. This is due to the cost of the barrel/cask itself. If I am able to source them for a lower price, then the starting price is lower. These are often barrels that are at their end of life. They can no longer be used by wineries or breweries for further aging of their product. Requests for barrels/casks from specific distilleries often cost considerably more. A bare bones creation is a barrel with doors and shelves starts at $600. Carvings, etchings, painting or making a shadowbox for the top increases the overall cost. I am very upfront about the cost. Once quoted, that's the price. I base it off the materials I expect to need and their cost. If the cost of materials goes up after quoting, that's on me. Changes to design after quoting may affect the cost.

Adirondack Chairs
Adirondack chairs are large and require more work than other products I make. Generally, they are made from pine in order to help keep costs down. Pine is not the best for outdoor use, but the chairs are sealed and it is recommended to re-seal about once a year and/or keep them covered when not in use. All the chairs I have made so far has lasted for years. Chairs start at $650. These are customized to your request. The backs may be carved, etched or painted. Each has a varying cost that could raise the overall cost of the chair.

By request
By request items vary in cost. Simple small items can start around $25, but it could be less if the items are very small and require less work. Large items and intricate items increase cost, but the total will be provided before any work is started.
