Description
A journey of reclamation: the story of a Whisky Cask Paddle Board.
At Made in the Glen we get very excited about discarded whisky barrel lids. Once a component of Scotland’s rich whisky heritage, these weathered lids hold a story written in their grain. Rather than letting them fade away many artisans are now breathing new life into the barrel lids. We love selecting the lids, still scented with whisky, for all types of wood projects because we know that through this journey of reclamation these lids come back to life and have a place in your home.
Making the whisky cask paddle board:
Shape:
Our woodworking team, design and draw a shape that will accentuate the unique characteristics of each lid. They love to add curves to create a visually striking silhouette, blending aesthetic appeal with practicality. The shape is then cut on a band saw.
Sand and Finish:
The paddle board then undergoes multiple rounds of sanding. We work our way up through the different grades of sandpaper to provide a smooth and tactile finish. Finally, several coats of Odie’s Oil is applied and the board is set aside for the finishing oil to cure.
Caring for your Whisky Cask Paddle Board:
To preserve the timeless elegance of your serving board we recommend the following:
- Gently hand wash using a soft brush or cloth
- Avoid submerging your serving board in water.
- After washing, stand it in an upright position to air-dry completely
- Occasionally apply a touch of food safe finishing oil (such as walnut) to maintains its shine and natural beauty.
Suppliers:
For your peace of mind, our wood boards are treated with Odie’s Oil, a food safe finishing oil made from natural ingredients, ensuring the longevity of your investment. To find out more about Odie’s Oil click here.
