I was at a show recently, and this vendor, Vintage Redwood Company, had some really great furniture on display. Come to find out, it’s made out of reclaimed redwood and oak wine vats (show was in Napa, of course).

The awesomeness of the previous contents have left these pieces of wood with a great color and texture, and the need for such sturdy vats means that these pieces are incredibly stout.

According to the website, they’re great indoors and out, which shouldn’t be surprising considering they’ve held wine for years (around 50-100yrs!), and are thoroughly seasoned.

I can’t really tell if they require any conditioning or maintenance (ala teak), but I could definitely tell that these were extremely well-built, great looking pieces meant to last a lifetime.

I’ve seen a few of these companies popping up, and the furniture really seems to be top-notch…worth checking out…slightly financially prohibitive at this point, but there’s a good chance it will outlast the buyer.
