Custom Engraved White Oak Barrel Heads
Genuine 20.5–21" diameter Kentucky bourbon barrel lids crafted from solid aged white oak. Precision laser engraved with sub-millimeter detail for corporate brands and distilleries.
Authentic Craft Construction
5 to 7 Solid American White Oak Staves pinned with tongue-and-groove joints
Engineered for Durability & Architectural Impact
Unlike mass-produced veneer novelty items, our barrel heads originate from genuine oak barrels. Each head possesses natural wood grain variations, subtle charring undertones, and substantial weight.

Standard 20.5"–21" diameter, 1" thickness. Approximately 7–8 lbs per unit.
High-Power Laser Depth
Deeply burned vector carving resulting in dark roasted wood contrast carved into the oak.
Routed Keyhole & Felt Pads
A keyhole routed into the back makes every barrel head ready to hang, and felt pads on the back protect the wall.
One Premium Standard
Every barrel head is custom engraved and finished with a satin polyurethane protective coat. No finish upgrades, no engraving add-ons — each order ships complete and presentation-ready.
Custom Laser Engraving
Your supplied logo or artwork deeply carved into solid white oak by high-wattage CO2 lasers — a tactile 3D relief carved into the wood.

Satin Polyurethane Finish
A commercial-grade satin clear coat that enhances deep grain lines and seals the oak against moisture and dust in high-traffic venues.
Included on every orderNatural variation: grain pattern, color, and char vary piece to piece — these are authentic characteristics of reclaimed bourbon barrel oak, not defects.
