Description
Handcrafted in my Michigan workshop, the Gentleman’s Bar Slab is built from 1.75″ reclaimed American cherry and designed as a sculptural centerpiece for the man who treats the nightcap like a ritual. This piece brings together hardwood, slate, and full‑grain leather in a clean, architectural layout that elevates your bottle, your glassware, and the entire atmosphere of your home bar.
At the center sits an engraved slate tile — THE EVENING RITUAL — anchoring the slab with a masculine, grounded presence. Each pocket is precision‑cut and lined with full‑grain leather for a premium tactile feel and a warm contrast against the cherry grain. Thick, weighted, and intentionally simple, this is a ritual object meant to live on a bar cart, desk, lounge table, or shelf and age beautifully with time and use.
This is not décor.
This is a ritual piece.

Maker Information
RPT Designs started long before this shop ever existed.
When I was young, I spent countless hours in my grandfather’s workshop, helping him build wooden pieces he’d later sell at local craft shows. That small garage shop is where I first learned patience, craftsmanship, and the pride that comes from creating something with your own hands.
Today, that same 2½‑car garage workshop in Michigan’s Thumb area is where RPT Designs continues that tradition. It’s not a production facility — it’s a personal workspace where every piece is made slowly, intentionally, and by hand, just like the ones I built with my grandfather.
The name RPT represents the first initials of myself and my two sons. My goal isn’t just to build products — it’s to pass down the same knowledge and appreciation for craftsmanship that my grandfather passed down to me.
Each piece is created in small batches using quality hardwoods, full‑grain leather, and hand‑finished details. I focus on items designed for whiskey lovers, home bars, and collectors who appreciate pieces that feel both rugged and refined.
My design inspiration comes from a love of an older country era blended with a modern luxury aesthetic. You’ll find items like:
• Whiskey shelves
• Wood and leather coasters
• Handcrafted ring boxes
• Whiskey smoker lazy Susans
• Bar accessories
• Liquor and wine bottle lamps
I’ve always believed the best pieces start with raw materials and the extra time and care most people won’t bother with. That effort is what transforms a simple object into something meaningful.
The long‑term vision for RPT Designs is simple: create small‑batch handcrafted pieces that feel personal, intentional, and worthy of being passed down.
Every piece that leaves this Michigan workshop carries the same craftsmanship my grandfather taught me — and that I hope to pass down to my sons.
Our Guarantee: If anything arrives damaged or not as expected, we’ll make it right.
