Hello Everyone,

My name is James Broyhill and I'm new to NC Woodworkers. I'm glad I found you all.

I'm the founder of a custom furniture operation, Heritage Barrel Designs LLC.

I create furniture and home accents out of reclaimed whiskey/bourbon/wine barrels. As you may know, barrels are constructed from American/French White Oak.

What started as a weekend hobby, has spawned into quite the operation given the quality of my work and story behind it.

While I've never advertised to date, several local publications have done articles, along with state/national publications, i.e. Garden&Gun, Our State Magazine, showing recent interest, however, I've held off given the many orders already received.

Which leads me to the reason for this post:

I'm looking for someone within close proximity to Charlotte, NC with interest in helping me with several projects and potentially partnering to bring this concept to market.

To be very brief, I have material suppliers in KY,TN, NC, a working business plan, along with key relationships within the furniture industry.

While currently working on a website and other marketing material, please see the following link (also attached) for more info. Much has occured since this article was published: http://charlotteexclusive.com/<WBR>2012/homes/other-home-topics/<WBR>bloodline-in-a-barrel/

If interested, I'd enjoy meeting you, taking a look at your portfolio and viewing your shop if possible. I'm glad to offer the same on my end.

Please reply soon for I have several very interested, however, I have great need to find the right person for this position. I'm glad to set up a call at your convenience to discuss further as well.

All the Best,
James Broyhill

Welcome. I'm sure that with the increasing popularity of NC as a wine producing state you'll have no trouble finding raw materials for your projects.

Good read in the article. Hope you find the right person to help you out. I thought you took my dog for the photo shoot as I have a black lab as well. How did the doghouse turn out?
