About BraveStaves

BraveStaves is a Scottish family business built on a love of craftsmanship, sustainability, and whisky heritage.

From day one, our family was determined that BraveStaves would work only with used and retired whisky staves — never new wood. Each stave is carefully cleaned, treated, and transformed into beautiful, sustainable oak trays that celebrate Scotland’s whisky tradition while giving this remarkable wood a second life.

Our first creations were designed as candle holders and table centrepieces, but it didn’t take long to realise their potential for whisky lovers. The natural character of the oak, paired with its rich distillery history, made the perfect base for a single glass or a full whisky flight to share with friends.

Since then, BraveStaves has grown to offer over twenty handcrafted products — from tasting trays to bespoke gifts — all made with care and respect for the material’s story. And we’re always exploring new ideas. If you have something in mind that would pair beautifully with a stave, we’d love to create it for you.

At BraveStaves, we take great pride in our products and in our customer service. Every order is personal to us, and we always welcome your feedback or suggestions. If you’d like to get in touch, please don’t hesitate — we’d love to hear from you.
