Wine Barrel Bottle Rack

In 2014, I drove into Napa, California’s wine region, to get an old wine barrel. In a friends garage, I turned it into a beautiful wine bottle rack. It was a Christmas gift for my girlfriend. 5 years later, she and the barrel are still around.

This piece was pretty much built on the spot, without prior planning.

Multiple people offered quite large amounts of money to get their own wine barrel, so I started to draw everything in CAD. The most time intensive work is the custom shelve building. All wine barrels have slightly different dimensions, so custom fitting is necessary. One day, I will open a little barrel business.
