Disclaimer ***Prior To Ordering: If you have a very intricate logo or custom design we may either have to edit the design or may not be able to carve the logo/design. If you are unsure please reach out to us before ordering to see if we can engrave your design or if extra fees maybe necessary due to longer machine time or editing of the image you sent. Proofing: Using the email you provided, we will send a proof of your design within 1-2 days of receiving your order. Respond ‘APPROVED’ to send your design to production. We will not start production without an approved response. – Every barrel head is distinct in its own way so yours will be like no other. Some heads have markings, stamps, wax and more. Other barrel heads you may find online are super sanded and planed down so far that all the markings, dents, dings, colors and more are so sadly removed. We get our barrel heads straight from the source, Bardstown, KY and make them right here in Kentucky! Can’t get much more Kentucky than that! Have a question? Feel free to ask! Wedding gift for a couple or housewarming gift! All of our barrel heads are locally sourced in Kentucky and made of white oak. Each barrel head has gone through it’s own life and has developed its own unique character as well as coloring. They are made up of various numbers of wood slats as well as different company stamps and markings. We cannot guarantee a barrel with a specific marking, and the natural color and stain will differ per piece. All barrel heads are tongue and groove style that are hand picked, un-assembled, lightly sanded to remove dirt and debris, re-assembled with glue, and have oak wood strips attached to the rear for a long-term hold. We dry each barrel head out prior to assembly, but wood is constantly expanding and contracting due to it environment, so you may experience some minor shifting over time.🔨WHAT MAKES HACKIN’ GRAIN DIFFERENT? Steps 1. We separate the barrel heads into individual pieces (Anywhere from 5-7 pieces). 2. We apply a generous amount of wood glue and interlock the tongue and groove pieces together 3. We apply weight and clamps to hold the barrel head together increasing its strength. 4. After the glue dries we LIGHTLY sand off any dirt or debris leaving all stamps, markings, barrel wax and chalk marks. 5. After sanding we then engrave into the oak wood NO PAINT OR DECALS ARE USED. 6. After your design has been deeply engraved into the wood we apply oak wood strips to the rear of the barrel. This gives the barrel extreme strength and helps to keep separation of slats to a minimum. 7. We then drive screws into the 3 backing strips to the barrel head wood itself. This will hold all pieces together and provide a quality hangable piece. 8. Finally we use 50lb steel cable driven into the strips to make sure your barrel head will hang tight for years and year! 📚THINGS TO KNOW!!! -These are straight from Kentucky! – They can have a bourbon mash smell for a few weeks -Separation of slates are common, we do our best to keep separation down to a minimum and discard barrels with wide separation. -Barrel heads are like fingerprints, every one is different with various nicks, markings, stamps and more -Not all barrel heads are perfect circles, some pieces are cut at angles and can be oblong. Again we try our best to only use the best of the best by hand picking every barrel head. -Images and final product can differ due to every barrel head being different, Colors, Stamps, markings all differ. -These can be used outdoors, we recommend applying a few coats of spar urethane. Since these are engraved your designs will never fade although wood can discolor and separate due to outdoor elements. If you have any questions please ask, no question is to silly or “dumb” 🛍️Wholesale opportunities are available with drop shipping options. please direct wholesale questions and opportunities to nick [!at] hackingrain.comBarrel heads will warp over time. We will not warranty barrel head warping after 3 months. If your barrel head starts to warp attach 1/2″ oak wood to the back allowing the barrel head to stop warping. ⚠️MUST READ: These barrel heads are at least 2 years old, they are not flat, they are not new, they are not clean they are rough and imperfect. Each is unique and different. Most of these barrel heads are crooked, stained, dented and more. We will not refund for dents, dings, dirt, wax, flatness, gaps etc. These are unique and awesome just like the Kentucky Bourbon that once was held by these pieces of wood! #webstore #layout #freelogo👍
