In the past, Elbin would use finished wood that was available at local home improvement stores for the handles and pads on servers as well as shelves on pieces.  Many times it would be red oak as white oak would not be available.  The staves used for his pieces are white oak so when the shelves, pads and handles were stained, there was a difference in color between them and the whiskey stave.  Going forward, the handles, pads and shelves are all white oak.  This requires more time to prepare pads and shelves as the white oak for them are selected from raw sawn lumber that is then planed down to the right thickness required for the pads and shelves.  It is important to continue to perfect the pieces that Elbin makes so that the owner of the piece will have a product to enjoy for years.  

Can I have any of the whiskey and wine barrel products personalized ? 

• The majority of the time the answer is yes however there are cases where I cannot - send me an email at elbin@elbinart.com detailing what you are looking for.

Where are you located and how large is Elbin Art?

• Elbin Art is located in Powhatan, VA.  There is no physical store.  This is a small single person business by Elbin who has a passion for woodworking art.  Products are available through my store on this website as well as at certain distilleries.   

I am not affiliated with a distillery or winery however would like a specific distillery/winery on a Elbin Art product, can I get that done?

• Maybe.  I do not make a product with a distillery or winery's logo on it without getting their permission first.  If you would like a specific distillery or winery's logo on a product, let me know which one and I will contact them for permission.
• Also keep check the "Partners" page as the one that you are looking for may have given me approval.  Also note that they may have only approved one or two products with their logo.  

I am an owner of a distillery, restaurant or winery.  Can Elbin Art customize some of the products with my logo / name?

• Yes - send me an email at elbin@elbinart.com detailing what you are looking for.

What is the lead time of your products?

• Is dependent on how many orders are in house, quantity of the order and type of product ordered.  Please keep in mind that most of my products are made to order.  Great care goes making each product.  Each whiskey or wine barrel stave product is sanded multiple times, stained, and coated to bring out the beauty of the wood and provide for longer life of the product.  Some products also have detail work done to them and even holes are measured with precision to make sure you have a product that is a piece of art.
