1773 Boston Harbor Pool Cue Stand

Reclaimed Bourbon Barrel Cue Rack — Colonial Craftsmanship Meets American Leisure

Hand-shaped from authentic American bourbon barrel oak, this cue rack carries the legacy of early cooperage and the fine woodworking discipline that once defined colonial taverns and private gaming rooms. Each stave, once bent and tempered by flame to cradle aging whiskey, now stands renewed with purpose — a testament to American artisanship and the spirited gatherings woven into our nation’s history.

We clean and prepare each barrel stave by hand, removing only what time and service have worn away, while preserving the char, grain, and natural markings earned through years in the distillery. The wood is sanded smooth to the touch yet left rich with character, honoring both its working heritage and the early American belief that timber deserved respect, not concealment.

Designed to hold up to 8 pool cues, this rack brings functional refinement to billiard rooms, tavern-style entertaining spaces, and home game parlors. At ≈ 34" H × 25" L × 10" D, it offers presence without imposing — a piece built for both play and pride, made to stand beside those who appreciate craftsmanship, tradition, and a well-kept cue.

Handcrafted in our father-and-son workshop, this rack bridges centuries of American craft — from cooper’s barrel to gentleman’s game.
