Rustic Bar Construction | Custom Restaurant Fittings

Countryside tourists visiting the blue ridge mountains and countryside enjoy a stop off at the Old Toad Pub. The rustic ideal and design theme were desired in this project to attract the weekender tourists from the Washington DC, Baltimore, and Richmond metro areas as they spend a weekend at a nice countryside bed and breakfast or tour the local wineries near Charlottesville VA. The reclaimed barn wood facing used on the bar was taken from a barn not twelve miles from the restaurant’s location by Gepetto Craftsmen who finished out the bar design to serve both the drinking patrons, but also the speed and accessibility of the staff serving the drinks day in and day out. The L shaped bar with service corner helps separate the bar area from the seated dining area. Our commitment to solid wood as a craft shows through in every polished inch of the bartop surface! A proprietary mix of curing, polishing and chemical finishes builds a deep luster on top of the gorgeous wood grain that you won’t hesitate to serve, spill or clean on top of.

Spiral Staircase Manufacture

Architectural millwork for spiral staircase construction across Virginia, Maryland, Deleware, Philadelphia and Southern PA.  Virginia Custom Spiral Staircase Builders  project slideshow is above.  Get a quote for your custom staircase manufactured by hand from local VA craftsmen.  The most complex designs fit intricate spaces and can be quoted and completed efficiently to meet your project’s deadlines from our Richmond shop.  Warehouse renovation from the ground up with reclaimed materials from exposed beams or old flooring can be done on budget and timeilne with a shop as capable as Gepetto.  Builders of exquisite wood architectural elements like spiral staircases and curved railings like pictured here in this slideshow take great care with the materials to bend and twist with the wood grain.  Along with the complex measurements that are required to accurately build in the three dimensional turns of a spiral, we take great care to meet the structural strength and weight bearing needs of the staircases we build.

We have used solid wood joinery with the center column in several projects, but here we blended the the flexibility and strength of steel to meet the architectural needs of this project.  The three levels of the Ladybird Hat Factory renovation were connected with this spiral staircase built around the elevator shaft.  The new addition of an elevator to this late 19th century building left us plenty of structural integrity from which to hang the floating staircase.  The extra large internal diameter allowed us to use a lower angle between steps as we completed the arc between levels.  Walk in sometime to experience how the arc of the staircase moves through the space.  Complete the turn on solid wood planks as you rise from level to level and feel the craftsmanship that we intended.
