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 are beautiful, the staves had limitations on 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.

Each piece has different wood grain making each unique in look. Great care and work goes into each piece. Whether it is a reclaimed stave or raw lumber, each piece is shaped, sanded and then coated 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.

Elbin is always striving for excellence in every piece he makes and is always looking to continuously improve on each product he makes.

Please note that Elbin Art does not make any glasses or any of the hardware on the products (openers, clocks, candles, metal handles, screws, bolts, metal hooks, etc.). Elbin Art makes many wood products that hold/display coins, poker chips, etc. and while Elbin Art also sells some coins (not made by Elbin Art) those coins are sold/shipped separately.

While Elbin Art does offer custom laser engraving on certain Elbin Art wood products, Elbin Art will not do any laser engraving of company logos unless the customer has provided written permission from the particular company. Elbin Art does not do any laser engraving of any College logos, Pro sports team logos or military logos as they are copyright protected and Elbin Art currently does not have a license from those organizations to use their logos for engraving. Elbin Art does not do engraving on glasses, etc.

Some standard Elbin Art wood products may have engraving/inlay where the graphics used for the engraving or inlay may not have been developed by Elbin Art. In those particular cases, Elbin Art paid for the use of those graphic designs from graphic designer and based on the graphic design seller's guidelines (which may vary on a case by case basis). While Elbin Art may have purchased the clip art for use on a Commercial product, Elbin Art does not own the copyright for the clipart - the graphic designer owns the copyright. DO NOT copy any of the graphics for personal or commercial use as you must pay for the use of the artwork from the graphic art seller. Some graphic art seller guidelines may or may not require recognition of their work however Elbin Art will always list who the graphics was purchased from for the piece regardless if recognition is required or not for a few reasons - Elbin Art is not taking credit for graphics that was not made by me, give credit to the graphics designer that did the work and reinforce that Elbin Art takes copyright/trademark laws seriously.

Must be over 21 to order products made with reclaimed wine/whiskey barrel staves and/or products that carry wine/whiskey bottles/glasses.
