Wine Bottle Display

[Mt. Gomer]

Does anyone have the general dimensions/angles/bit size for a wine bottle display like this one?

I was thinking they'd make some quickly produced gifts. I could probably guestimate and experiment and come up with something that would work but if someone's already got specs that work I'd appreciate it. Might make a double too....

Thanks,

I really like the bottle holders that are made out of barrel staves. Sounds like a fun project that could make use of cupped boards. If you properly store your wood, then it'll be more work for you!

They are 10 1/2” by 4”, ( the width can be 3”) the angle is 45 degrees and The hole is 1 1/4”. I did a round over in the hole but not too large or it will change the angle of the bottle.
...
7” from bottom to center of hole.

Here is a short Youtube video that walks you through a basic one....

I attempted a couple and failed to get the balance right. After the work of laminating maple, cherry and walnut I modified my version by adding a base so it would hold a bottle!!:rotflm:
Still. Everyone liked them and use them.
