Wine Tower #2

Project by Packman posted 49 days ago 388 views 2 times favorited 7 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Another wedding gift … this one is for a friend of my daughters. The main tower is made of solid Mahogany, the tower cap has a piece of maple sandwiched between two pieces of Bubinga, and the base legs are made of African Kiaat. All finished with a semi-gloss spray on lacquer.

I made the base a little wider on this one (take note Jim) and either side of the tower can be loaded without causing any stability issues.

Interesting, though I would always freak with the bottles hanging out like that (I have big clumsy dogs… it would be a disaster…)

What is that thing in the 4th photo with the brushes?

The 4th photo was taken while the tower was being carved on a cnc router.

I like this a lot. It is similar to what i wanted to make for my son but I was afraid it would tip over constantly with an active 3 year old in the house. Can you add bottle3s from both sides to balance it?

PrairieFire …. you can add bottles on either side. I purposely overloaded the left side to demonstrate the stability. The tower is made of a single piece of Mahogany so there is a lot of mass and did widen the bottom of #2 versus the first one I made. The first one was very stable, but this one is much better.
