Welcome to our Whisky Barrel Framing Gallery. Unique to Fintray Fine Framing and protected by intellectual property rights, our whisky barrel frames are the ultimate in reclaimed frames. As one of the biggest industries in Scotland the whisky trade uses over 100,000 barrels every year. An individual barrel may be used for as many as 50 years but eventually it will reach a point where it can be used no more. So what to do with them? You can use them as attractive planters or maybe rain water catchers but we thought they would work best as picture frames!
Working as coopers in reverse, the barrels are dismantled into individual staves and worked to reveal the natural beauty of the oak. It has taken us many years of experimentation with wood shaping and jointing techniques to create a uniform product but we are now proud to present our elegant, curved frames specifically designed to complement our stunning Scottish landscape photography. Oh yes - nearly forgot - the beguiling aroma when you remove the frame from the wrapper, well that’s just your wee bonus. After all, it’s not only the angels who deserve a share.
