These end table are totally awesome! Quite the combination of modern and rustic. We are completely smitten. They were 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 tables are comprised of a rectangular picture frame style top with a glass insert that is rather cantilevered and connected to a sled style base by eight barrel staves which run this way and that from top to bottom, four staves at each side of the table creating a very interesting pattern. There are two stave stretchers running from sled base to base. Striking and sturdy. They have a dark applied stain to the gorgeous oak and a hand rubbed look to the finish. These tables 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, or man cave no matter your style. You need to make them yours!
