JL Works & Design creates pieces of furniture that are distinctive conversation starters and keep history alive. Based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, we take our inspiration from celebrating the history of furniture design in the original "Furniture City". Every piece we make is unique and each one has a story to tell.

This 1950's, Korean War era ammunition box has been carefully restored to create a unique wall-mounted bar.
This custom-made restoration adds a gorgeous touch of vintage-modern style.
This piece is perfect for a man cave (or a girl cave with a taste for whiskey!) and provides a uniquely functional bar with a great story to tell.
In addition to fitting five to six 12 bottles (common whiskey/gin bottle height for a fifth), the shelving allows you to store glassware and other bar necessities.
The bar comes with heavy duty hanging equipment pre-installed and wall hangers.

This unique console bar features restored, vintage Remington ammunition boxes and wine/liquor bottle storage.
The Remington ammunition boxes date to between 1933-1945, after the Remington Arms Company was acquired by Dupont.
The restoration of each crate takes between 10-20 hours of detailed cleaning and retouching.
The rest of the bar is constructed from reclaimed barn wood, which again takes many hours of cleaning and preparation to be usable.
With twisted rebar legs, this piece is both vintage modern and highly sophisticated.

In a tribute to the original Beer City of Grand Rapids, we collect vintage beer crates and bring them back to life.
Each crate tells a story of pre-1900 and early 1900 American beer brewing.
The beer crates come from across the mid-west, and from both coasts - it is a collection of true American brewing history.
The delicate work of restoring these crates is complimented by the ingenuity of turning pieces of history into functional modern day coolers.
Each crate is insulated and water resistant, making a stylish and functional addition to the party.
