The Journey Back to What I Love.
I'm Bryan, the maker behind BeeSpoke Barrels, and I've spent my career  finding my way back to what truly makes me happy: creating beautiful  things for people to enjoy.
With an honours degree in Industrial Design and Furniture Design,  Designing and making is at my core and my biggest passion. Now, based in  Warwickshire, I handcraft distinctive furniture and homewares from  reclaimed Scottish Whisky barrels, bringing a piece of the Highlands to  homes across England and beyond.
 

Why Whisky Barrels?
Working with wood has always been a joy for me, it's an incredible  material with endless possibilities. But whisky barrel oak is something  special. Each stave tells a story, carrying the character and history of  years spent ageing Scotland's finest spirits. The rustic charm, the  ingrained aroma of whisky, the unique markings from decades of use,  these aren't flaws to hide, but features to celebrate.
No two barrels are the same, which means every piece I create is truly  one-of-a-kind. After 100 years, I'd have a few dinks and cracks too!  These marks are part of the wood's journey, and I embrace them as part  of what makes each creation distinctive.
 

The Craft.
Everything I make is handcrafted to order, just for you. From bar stools  and dining chairs to guitar stands, photo frames, and Adirondack garden  chairs, each piece is finished with care using high-quality mineral  oils and protective finishes. I source my oak directly from whisky  distilleries in the Scottish Highlands, rescuing these beautiful  materials from landfill or the burn pile and transforming them into  functional art.
I love taking custom orders and commissions. As a designer at heart, I'm  always thrilled to collaborate on something made to your exact  specifications, whether that's adjusting dimensions to fit your  breakfast bar perfectly or creating something entirely new.
 

More Than Furniture.
What drives me is the knowledge that I'm creating pieces that will  become part of your daily life; chairs that will host countless  conversations, guitar stands that will cradle your instruments, lamps  that will light your evenings. Each piece carries not just the history  of Scottish whisky-making, but will go on to become part of your story  too.
The smell of whisky that's ingrained in the wood is pretty good too!
I can't wait to make something for you.
