Vintage StavOak Coffee Table from Jack Daniels’ Barrel Staves by Jobie G. Redmond 1981

This coffee table is quite the awesome combination of modern design and rustic! We are in love with it. It was designed in 1978 by Jobie G. Redmond of High Point, North Carolina, whose family background was in furniture making, to be made using Jack Daniels’ used barrel staves. He was hired to do so by Jack Daniels Distillery. These first pieces were presented at High Point North Carolina furniture market in the Spring of 1979 and ready for the market in 1981. They were marketed as StavOak and each piece bears a barrel shaped brass tag. Later, similar pieces were made by Davis Furniture Company and called Jack Daniels No. 7. The table is comprised of a rectangular picture frame style top with a glass insert that is connected to a smaller picture frame style base by four barrel staves which diagonally from top to bottom, two staves at each end of the table creating an X pattern. Simple yet striking and sturdy. They have a dark applied stain to the gorgeous oak and a hand rubbed look to the finish. This table would be perfect in your modern country or mountain home and equally as nice in your industrial loft. Or in your bar area rec room no matter your style. You need to make it yours!
