ABOUT ELBIN ART
Elbin Art is a veteran owned, small single person business located in Powhatan, Virginia. Frank Stone, the owner of Elbin Art, started the business by making products from reclaimed Whiskey and Wine Barrel staves. While his barrel stave products were beautiful, the staves had limitations on the type products he could produce. He has since branched out into making other products by using lumber (NOT whiskey or wine barrel staves), giving Elbin Art a wider selection of unique products for customers. In addition to the products shown on the website, he also does limited custom work as well from time to time. If you are interested in a custom piece, please see the Elbin Art Custom Products page HERE for additional details.
While each wood product is made in Powhatan, VA by Frank, the contents of a product may or may not be from the US. For example, the hardware (screws, screw caps, feet, handles etc.) may be from another country. The wood may be from the US or from another country. For example, Purpleheart is typically from South America. While Black Walnut is typically from eastern US, Peruvian Walnut is imported. The Stolzle Glassware that Frank sells with or without his wood products are not made by Elbin Art and are made in Germany. The artwork used for some of his products with inlay or engraving may or may not be designed by an artist in the US.
Please see the Elbin Art Wood Menu page to see the types of woods that Elbin Art currently uses for the majority of his projects. The projects/products pricing will vary depending on the wood type(s) used in a particular project. Each piece has different wood grain making each unique in look. Great care and work go into each piece. Whether it is a reclaimed stave or raw lumber, each piece is shaped, sanded and then finished for a beautiful look and feel. Many of the pieces can also be customized as most of the pieces are made to order when the order is placed. Frank uses a variety of tools in making his products, from traditional woodworking hand/power tools to more advanced CNC machines.
Frank is always striving for excellence in every piece he makes and is always looking to continuously improve on each product.
