Wine Racks-Custom Designs-Made In USA

KTW #0411

Six bottles wide by seven racks high, gives you a 42 bottle capacity. Notice how even the fat Champagne style bottles that many wineries are using for their Pinots fit without touching.

This legs and top of this rack was constructed out of Khaya also known as African Mahogany. The racks and contrasting feature strip laminated into the top are Oregon Alder hardwood.

It is 40″ tall, 28 1/2″ wide and 15 1/2″ deep.

I apply three coats of poly-urethane that is virtually water proof and very stain resistant. I use a satin sheen that brings out the natural color and grain of the lumber, imparts a velvety smooth feel, and gives that hand-rubbed antique effect.

I’m surprised that through the whole stack of boards my neighbor Lavrens passed on to me, each piece has very different shades in the color, but yet has the same grain characteristics.

If you are a serious wine enthusiasts, you probably buy bottles a little too expensive or too many bottles that were a deal that couldn’t be passed up. You could treat yourself to a nice hand made rack like this to stash your treasures!

6 x 7 = 42  and 4 x 6 = 24 bottle capacity racks. #4 on the left is Khaya African Mahogany and #5 is Machiche, a very dense hard tropical lumber from Central America (sometime called Black cabbage-bark). The racks and feature strips in the mitered edge band on the tops is Alder from Oregon.

I got a message right after my last posting and so KTW #0311 has found a good home.  Thanks for the support Pete… and for sending me photos!

I have some interesting wine rack projects going on and I’m starting to think about slicing up a few logs that have been drying for more than a year in the back corner of the shop . More to come, stay tuned…
