Wow this is a unique design, is it yours? This would make for a great gift. Blkcherry

Very nice, I really like it. Did you use a plan or make the design yourself?

-- Max "Desperado", Salt Lake City, UT

very cool idea well done

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

Functional and elegant; a very nicely executed design!

-- Mistake? No, that's just an unexpected design opportunity....

Like DynaBlue said functional and elegant,,,as a wine drink and owner of lots of cut crystal wine glasses would you mind if I borrowed the design????

-- Feel the wood and let it tell you what to make of it.

Thanks all for the comments. They really are appreciated.

I’ve done some others, (one of which I’ll post as soon as it finishes drying) that were modified from plans I found somewhere. I don’t remember where. I wanted to do something different, and thought it would be neat to add a place for glasses. The rest was just a combination of things I’ve seen here and other places. This is what I came up with,

Rog, you are welcome to the design. If you want I’d be happy to send you what I built from. Let me know.

Thanks again!

-- Tim, trying to come up with something cool to say here!

Sure Tim, I was thinking of the basic design but in a mission style. My whole house is a craftsman ranche and furnished in quarter sawn mission furniture. It wouldn’t be hard to take your design and modify it to mission…..my email is rdhef@hotmail.com thanks, anyone else have ideas send them along..

-- Feel the wood and let it tell you what to make of it.

Great idea. All you need now is a place for a cork screw and a bucket of ice.

Nice design Tim! Haven’t seen anything like that before.

-- Rick

that is the best I,ve seen yet good job mate

-- jim nevada

cool design, looks like something you could pick up and travel with.

-- If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail!

Very nice. BZ

Tim,

I’d like to have a copy of your plans also. rnpriest@comcast.net

This is a great looking piece.

Would love to get a copy of your plans, too!

Tim-
Thats a very, very creative idea. I am looking forward to seeing some of your other versions.
I really believe the wine clientel is a good niche for woodworkers. Talking with some folks around here that are into wine, and they all say the same thing. They want something that is unique and very different from what others have.
Tim, I am guessing since you are making some other versions that they are either give aways as presents or you plan to sell them. If you are planning on selling them, you might check out any local winery’s, if possible.
They are always having wine tasting parties and such, might be a good market.

As for your design, I too would like to copy it, if you dont mind. And if possible could you please post the dimensions?

Thanks for posting

nice work! how did you carve the cutouts for the bottles? band/jig saw + template/router – or something else?

Aaron,

Thanks. I used a jig saw and cleaned it with a pattern bit on the router. Unfortunately, I don’t own a band saw. Yet!

good enough, obviously!
