Croze in Bloom

Croze in Bloom | Reclaimed Barrel Wood Air Plant Holder

There are plenty of ways to give an old wine or bourbon barrel a second life. I decided this one should grow plants.

Croze in Bloom is made from a piece of reclaimed Virginia red wine or Kentucky bourbon barrel stave, with the original croze left intact. The croze is the groove that originally held the barrel head in place. These days, it has a somewhat less demanding job: holding a couple of air plants.

The stave is cleaned up and finished by hand while keeping the character and marks that came with its first career. Four small rubber feet keep it slightly elevated, and the design gives the plants a little room to breathe.

Each one will have its own variations in grain, color, markings, and other evidence that it was once part of an actual barrel.

Air plants are included, so it's ready to find a spot on a desk, shelf, windowsill, or wherever you think it could make an ordinary moment a little better.
