Wood Burl Wine Holder

Burls are magical things.  Growths typically formed through stress on a tree can create magical twisted and interlocking grain patterns which can be unique and highly valued for their natural designs.

I know a guy who knows a guy and he teaches a wood working class featuring burls where they typically create bowls formed by a lathe.  Well there are discarded pieces from that bowl making process - and thats where I step in.  Never wanting to see such beautiful wood go to waste, I got my hands on some and crated a few different items- the one I am most proud of is this wine bottle holder.  The opening is big enough to fit a few different styles of bottles, but wine seemed like the best model.

This would look amazing in a kitchen, bar, wine room, liquor store - anywhere you think a bottle should be displayed with pride.

This is a one of a kind piece that you can be assured that no one will have  - ever.
