Description
Wine Barrel Stair Newel Post – POTANGA – Made from retired California wine barrels 100% Recycled!
Also available in Whiskey barrels!!
Handcrafted from locally sourced Napa wine barrels in the heart of California wine country, our exquisite wine furniture collection will showcase your home or business with a rustic elegance unique to California wine culture. Available in a wide variety of designs and customizable options, our extensive collection is sure to be the most functional piece of art you own!
After years of making amazing wines (which I’m SURE you have enjoyed) these barrels are retired and taken to my shop to take on mew life as art and furniture. Carefully taken apart and dried for up to a year before it is sanded and finished with natural organic food grade Tung oil to protect it for a lifetime of use.
The POTANGA Newel Post is standard only in length. It has remarkable movement in each piece drawing the eye upwards on a staircase. Years of wine producing have aged this wood with all the striations of color from drawing the rich wine. Each piece is hand stripped and sanded silky smooth.
These retired wine barrels have brought joy to millions of wine drinkers, and although their wine making days are behind them, their distinctive character lasts on. With some careful shaping and finishing, each piece becomes a work of art suitable for warming the heart of a true wine lover.
The notch you see is where the barrel head sat and its location is purely due to length. Its purely decorative at this point and I love keeping the fine details of the original barrel intact to preserve its history and character.
The inner post and floor mounting plate are 100% recycled steel and super strong. The wine barrel staves are sanded silky smooth (guaranteed no splinters!) and finished with all natural, organic, food grade, Tung Oil.
I do make matching Balusters, Handrails and Pony Cap Wall Covers posts as well.

All our products are exquisitely handcrafted, using 100% recycled materials. They are singular creations that are not factory-made or mass produced. Our highly skilled artisans do their best to ensure that each item resembles the photos as closely as possible, however there may be very slight variations or natural imperfections in the materials which is what make each piece of a handmade product charming and unique. The pictures may not be identical to the product you receive. It’s probably even more awesome!
Our products are intended for interior / indoor use only. Please note that we are not responsible for any damage incurred from being exposed to the natural elements.
If you need this for outdoor use I can seal it with marine Varnish (for boats) for a couple bucks extra.
