Finished up the stemware shelf that LOML wanted so we could hang up our glasses. The design is one that I came up with after looking at quite a few commerically available ones. The profile for the brackets was a combination of a couple I've seen in the past. Making all those glass holders was very tedious, then spacing them correctly so they would hold all of our stems, from the largest to the smallest took some time with a mock-up and adjusting the sizes. Once I got it right, I kept the mock-up in case I want to ever build another.
The shelf is 3/4" cabinet grade plywood. All the rest is maple. I bought the spindles (I'm not a turner). I finished it with walnut dye and topped it with several coats of watco danish oil. The top of the shelf got 2 coats of poly instead of the oil.
There's a wine rack in the future projects list that will match this.
Be well,
Doc
