The self-motivated drive that made Tony Davis excel as a Marine has served him well in his new business crafting old bourbon barrels into functional pieces. At his Studio 300 in the old James Pepper Distillery on Manchester Street in Lexington, Davis brings bourbon barrels back to life. It's a little known fact that no Kentucky bourbon barrel is ever reused to make more bourbon. It's a one-and-done deal for the barrels, which are sometimes exported to other countries and reused to make scotch, Irish whiskey, rum and tequila. Using the barrels from Buffalo Trace's signature brands such as Elmer T. Lee and Blanton's Single Barrel, Davis makes cutting boards, lazy susans, studio easels, and other items. Davis wants to inspire others and to give back through his craft. He also supports the Wounded Warrior Project. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn more about KET's programs at http://www.ket.org/video/ Visit KET's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/KET Subscribe to the KET channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=ketvideos
