Completed a platter, little bowl, a few wine bottle stoppers and some wine glass displays.
Finished with Minwax semigloss poly, buffed with 0000 steel wool and then a couple of applications of Johnson’s Furniture Wax.
Not being a wine drinker, I really goofed when I made the wine glass holders! Went to the cupboard and got the wine glasses with the largest bowl so the spacing would not hit the side of the wine bottle. I didn’t realize that different wine glasses would have different diameter stems. I sized the slots to easily fit these stems- 3/8”. Now I realize that other glasses might have thicker stems. I guess who ever gets the holders will have to buy glasses that fit- or use the holder to wind up kite string.
Thanks for looking!

you did a beautiful job on those plates, i love that wood, i dont think the thickness of the stems will be a big deal, its a really way to display your wine and the glasses, its really great..your work never ceases to amaze me Lew, this must have been a ball to make…maybe you can do a video of turning something like this, i would love to see you work it…just a thought…grizz

A slab spalted maple was a Christmas present from a friend and the idea, for the wine glass holders, is from the many folks who posted here at LJs.
