This is one of the most challenging pieces I have done to date. Combines two of my passions, wine and woodworking. Did this to sell with no client in mind. Hand cut mortise and tenon joints and dovetails on drawer. The case is maple with a walnut back panel, legs and doors. Top is qtr cut ash veneer.

Love it. Specially the top and the through mortises, they really stand out with a bit of panache’.
Great job on the dovetails!

Very elegant. Did you turn the stopper, too?

wine and woodworking, not at the same time but two very enjoyable things to combine. Very nice.

Looks very nice. It looks like you also have ample room for wine paraphernalia too.
Is the wine holding lattice made of plywood?

I wish I could take credit for the wine stopper too but it was a gift turned from wenge. The center section was made of solid maple.

And it looks like there’s plenty of room on the left side for a box of wine! Wonderful piece.

Brian,
Thanks. Surprisingly it is very stable even with the sides of the case cantilevered out almost 18”.

Hi BFD,
I am sorry that I missed this one when it was first posted but glad that it came back up on my list. Your wood combination works well on this project. The joinery is excellent and I like the separation of the top from the case. It adds a unique detail to the piece.
What type of finish did you put on it?
By the way I like the manner in which you showcased this piece for photography purposes as well.

Hi Scott,
Thanks for the kind words. For the finish I used Varathane water-based clear satin polyurathane. I try to be as environmentally friendly with the finishes I use so, I like to use water based finishes. Working with the light ash and maple it is also is a very clear finish which doesn’t add any amber cast to the wood. I prefinished all the pieces prior to assembly.

Thanks Napaman,
This project to date is my favorite as well. Although I did it to sell I am not that quick to part with it.
