Wine rack progress

[Cato]

My first project in 3 years. Small wine rack for our house. Glad it's small, or I would be overwhelmed getting used to using my tools again! Will hold 11 bottles and is mahogany and the back panel will be walnut.
Progress has been fairly slow as I go through the re-learning curve. Making and fitting the lattices was not my fav part, but I knew there would be plenty of mistakes, er I mean adjustments along the way.

I still need to make the back panel , attach, and final finishing. I can see the finish line though and that's a good thing.

That is a very fine looking wine rack. :icon_thum

I'm sure you are enjoying the time in your shop once again. Hopefully one of these years I might rediscover my shop as well as it has been a few years since I last had much time in my shop (though I have been pursuing other hobbies in the meantime).

Very nice looking wine rack, and a great project to get back into the shop. I remember my first time back after a 3 year absence. Whew! A little tentative.

Looks good. Is it all solid wood?

Nicely done.

Yes, all solid wood. Had some of the mahogany that stored well for the past few years, and got the rest from Yukon Lumber in Norfolk.

Bill Clemmons, my joinery is not as precise as I would have liked but I had to jump in somewhere and take a few lumps for things I forgot, that are now starting to come back to me. I sure can't blame anything on the tools, just the operator!! Most intimidating was getting the router back in my hands.
