I made these wine holders with the help of the LJ forums for some customers (and my boss) that are Steelers fans. I am only showing three wine holders as that is the number that are complete. There is one made from Mahogany and the other two are “Black and Gold” stripes using alternating Wenge and Yellow Heart woods. I used a 1 1/4” Forstner bit for the hole, a 36 degree angle for the base and 3.5”-4.5” widths on approximately 3/4” finished wood. A 1/4” router bit was used to finish the edges. The finish is a lacquer by Minwax. Enjoy !
