Rooted in the Bluegrass. Crafted for the Modern Home.


Burlap & Oak builds for spaces where people slow down. Where bourbon is poured, stories are shared, and time lingers. Homes, bars, gathering places — all rooted in the same heritage.

Crafted in Kentucky. Built to last.

Where Refinement Meets the Handmade

Every stave tells a story. We reclaim authentic bourbon barrels fromKentucky's finest distilleries and transform them into furniture that honorstheir history while elevating your home. This is slow furniture, built to begathered around, aged to perfection just like the spirit it once held.

Made by Real Hands

In an era of mass production, we choose the slow path. Burlap & Oak is a collective of Kentucky artisans who believe that furniture should have a soul. Every cut, join, and finish is performed by a person who cares deeply about the outcome.

From Barrel to Heirloom

We don't just build furniture; we preserve a legacy. Each piece begins its journey in a Kentucky rickhouse, aging bourbon for years. When the barrel is retired, our work begins. We carefully dismantle, dry, and refine the white oak, preserving the char and the "angel's share" stains that make each piece one-of-a-kind.
