We felt sorry for the ugly wine barrel and all of its ugly wine barrel friends.

My mother taught me that you should not judge a person by their looks, but by what is inside and we knew that inside this wine barrel was lots of goodness (or at least at one time there was).

So we grabbed some of these ugly things and sanded for hours. Then we applied a beautiful stain, afterwards applying multiple coats of poly.

We could not believe how beautiful they came out. We were happy, the wine barrels are happy and you will be happy too if you rent these now very conceited wine barrels.

Yes, they are now ugly inside but who cares, we only want them for their body.
