Natural Whiskey Barrel Ring Inlay
This natural whiskey barrel wood ring inlay is crafted from wood found at the center of our whiskey barrels. The center wood provides an aesthetic contrast with delicate traces of the charred oak. The charr from the whiskey barrel-making process adds distinct flecks of color to the oak wood, creating a distinguished finish that makes this wood ring inlay incredibly unique.
Coffee Ring Inlay
Our first coffee ring was originally conceived for a friend of ours who owns a coffee shop. We used beans from his store in the design we created for him, but the coffee used in future rings is a bit more unique. We were able to obtain an unopened Hills Bros coffee can from 1941. The coffee inside was still fresh (they really knew how to make stuff back then) and has a great vintage story.
Coffee Rationing
Though we can enjoy coffee in an endless stream today, this has not always been the case. Coffee rationing in WWII began in 1942 – families could only get one pound every five weeks – and the rationing didn’t end until 1946. There were a few reasons for this. Firstly, the GI’s needed coffee in the field. Secondly, German U-boats were sinking boats with coffee shipments from Brazil making coffee hard to get.
Rationed coffee was packaged in glass containers, which were not only reusable, but also saved precious tin resources for the troops. That this coffee could be purchased in a can was a sign that the war had ended.
For us, the idea of an unopened can of coffee sitting in the back of someone’s pantry for so many years is a reminder of the frugality of that great generation which was permanently impressed upon them during the war.
Custom Coffee Option
If you have a favorite coffee shop and would like to use their beans, we can make that happen. Simply select the option on this page. We only need about 2 tablespoons of coffee beans (ground coffee may work as well). If you would like to send along more beans than necessary, well, coffee is always appreciated in the shop ;-).

Men’s Titanium Wedding Band
Titanium! The awesomest alloy! The incredible metal! We love titanium because it’s lightweight, yet an extremely hard and durable metal: considered strong as steel, but almost 50% lighter, making it an excellent choice for everyday wear. It has a warm feel compared to other metals and is both hypoallergenic and corrosion-resistant.
We crafted our titanium bands as an ode to the old Airstream trailers and the silver airplanes from the 1930s and 40s. Your ring is guaranteed to have a classy look that spans generations!
