A striking example of mid-20th-century American folk art furniture, this one-of-a-kind table combines vernacular craftsmanship with naturalistic sculpture. The 20" round top is crafted from an authentic Jack Daniel's whiskey barrel lid, branded “Jack Daniel’s / Lynchburg, Tennessee,” with the original engraved lettering crisply preserved under a warm, hand-rubbed finish.

The tabletop is supported by a dramatic, asymmetrical base composed of organically formed cypress roots or grapevine wood, artfully arranged to suggest motion and balance while offering sturdy support. Each root segment retains its original undulating form, with rich knots, whorls, and natural textures showcased in a deep honeyed patina.

At once rustic and sculptural, this table embodies the spirit of Southern Americana and the tradition of repurposing industrial and natural materials into functional art. Likely crafted in the American South during the 1960s, it was designed to be both a statement piece and a practical surface—ideal as a conversation table, whiskey tasting station, or cabin accent.
