I got some more time to work on the wine rack today. The purpose of this piece is more decorative than needed for all the wine we have. Truth be told, we’re really wine wienies and don’t drink that much but need something to fill the window inserts and this piece seemed to fit the bill.
I made some progress on the wine rack yesterday. This isn’t a difficult project, I just haven’t had time to work on it.
After squaring up my shelves and making them look pretty, I used the drill press and a hole saw to rough out the holes for the bottles.
The Paduk is really pretty wood and looks beautiful with just a planed surface.
Check out the figured walnut in my Wenzloff saw. Wish I could take credit for that handle.
Here’s the lay out. Now on to dado making and shaping the holes with rasps.
.. and, yep, I’m also still working on the wine rack.
Things have been a little busy, so its slow goin’.
I spent a part of Saturday cleaning up an old Stanley #6 that I bought from Josh at HyperKitten. After it was retrofitted with a new blade and all cleaned up I tried it out on some curly cherry that I bought from Hardwoods to Go. This board was handpicked by Shannon Roger as part of the new business endeavor at J. Gibson McIlvain.
I see some very cool door panels in my future. Thanks Shannon!
