Here is my version of the fish bottle balancer. I copied it from Randy's project although I think his use of maple was much better than my cherry.
It’s 4.5 wide, 11.5 long, 3/4 thick. Used scroll saw to cut out. Tail is 45 degrees. Did one coat BLO. The bottle neck hole is 1.25 but should be 1.5 since my Bombay gin bottle wouldn’t fit. Short neck bottles like my smaller Jim Beam and Gordon’s vodka fit but wouldn’t balance. Notice, it holds bottles of stuff other than wine. The Wild Turkey liqueur balanced most stable of all until I drank more of it. (purely scientific purposes only)
Fish DNA is a little shark some porpoise some Orca some salmon or tuna (forget which) and must have a touch of flounder…
And I mush say that i hav fun doin da fishy fishy fishy. and lil’ ‘ole fishy hold the wine a little while… pretty cool way to while away long, cold winter eve…

I think the wild turkey arrangement looks best.

Al don’t come soused for thr the workshop, or you won’t be able to stand up.
But, a little science never hear anyone, at least that’s what I’ve heard.
Bring your money for the sliding table parts to the workshop.
