Kirk’s Wine Rack

Viewer Project -
Added on January 5, 2011

Location: Anna, TX

Amateur or Pro: Amateur

Finish Used: Since this is a utilitarian piece that is going in a closet, I went ahead and used boiled linseed oil. Depending on the countertop wear, I may refinish with an oil/varnish mix. I have little experience with finishing and it is the step I dread the most. I have some picture frames lined up after I finish the new pergola in the backyard, so as I get better with finishing, I may revisit this piece.

Wood Species: Radiata Pine, Red Oak

Project Description:
I’m fairly new to start, your site being a great inspiration and educational tool. I wanted to share my latest project. Now that I have it finished, I am tempted to sell it and make another one for myself with some more complex joinery (other than straight oak dowels) that would reduce the overall weight, increase strength and up the challenge. Anyway, thank you for all of your insight through your videos, articles and podcasts (that I am still trying to get caught up on).

Nice work!

And imagine my surprise to find another denizen of Anna, TX on the TWW.

Small world.

  It’s obvious that a lot of planning when into your project. The construction was well executed.
  North Texas must have a plethora (or would be a herd?) of woodworkers.

An amateur! In the closet! This is beautiful!!!! I think you need to change both your status and location of your placement!

It looks to me like you are going to have one heck of a party someday! I never heard of Radiata Pine but based on the grain it resembles Southern Yellow Pine. Nice!

Nicely done. I have been thinking of building a wine rack and this one gives me some ideas.

Are you concerned with the bottles creeping out over time, or is there some kind of lip or slope to prevent that?

  I was wondering about exactly the same thing. It doesn’t look there is any slope, so I would be afraid that the bottles could creep out.

Looks great. Thinking about doing something similar. Anything different you’d recommend on the design?
