Super wine rack

That’s mission enough for me. I approve of the through-tenon idea. What are the radii of your cutouts? I’ve used 4” for the larger diameter before. Also, what’s your finish?

I love your signature brand on the piece. Very classy. I noticed that your “dry run” didn’t involve wine though. Looking for something a bit stronger after a day in the shop?

Nice wine rack!

Thanks for the comments.
I used 4” for the big cutouts. I might try smaller next time. The finish is water-based stain, oil-based stain, grain filler, tung oil and paste wax.
The signature is a rubber stamp placed under the oil stain coat.
I didn’t have a wine bottle, so sometimes you have to improvise. :)

Very nice project. I agree with the Captain that thru M&T would add a nice A&C accent. What are the overall dimensions?

Thank you.
It’s 10” tall, 15 3/8” wide and 10 7/8” deep.

I was just planning a wine rack (and my first “real”—read: not for my shop—project) and came across your very nice example. Thanks for posting it!

You mentioned you might go smaller on the 4” diameters. I had originally thought 3 1/2” (after my caliper session with a wine bottle or two) but bumped to 4” just out of ‘give it some more space’—do you find the 4” overkill? Maybe 3 3/4 or what were you thinking?

I’m also wondering what the spacing is between the top-of-the-bottom and the bottom-of-the-top racks? That was part of my concern: to make it shallow enough that I can fit enough bottles/have more racks, but with enough room to get the bottles in and out easily.

Thanks for any information you can provide!

This is a very cool wine rack design. I like it.
