Whilst was on maternity leave with our first child in 2014/15 our beloved black lab Tess sadly passed. I was in America when it happened and wanted to buy a special frame for my husband Ross with a photo of Tess to give to him.
I wanted a unique rustic style frame preferably personalised. The search was difficult and I struggled to find a perfect frame for our Tess. In the end I decided on a frame made of reclaimed barn wood.
Once back to Scotland I was relaying the story of the search to Ross and together we got thinking of solutions to the problem.
We wanted something Scottish and very unique, so over the course of a few weeks we came up with many different concepts. However, it wasn’t until we paid a visit to our favourite salvage yard that we fell in love with an old and unloved whisky barrel and knew we wanted to work with Scottish barrels for the frames.
