I made this wine rack for a chap who said he wanted something a little differant...

I LIKE it! It's not just a wine rack it's a center piece for any fine table. I'm looking at a very marketable item.

 

Well done all round.

Love it! Nice center piece.

Yes, it is different, it is a different wine rack and a different center piece. It is also  obviously very versatile : it can hold bottles of wine, you can arrange flowers on it, and you can leave it a such to decorate a table with a theme beutifully asserted.

 

Hopefully you have been well paid for the forging and the design.

 

What are the dimensions?

 

Any details of the procedure would be welcome.

 

Thanks,

Very cool looking.  

What a stunning bit of artistic design.

I wish I had a tenth of your creativity. That is a lovely piece in design, function and execution.

 

I hope you got a good price for it, because it deserves one!

I really like it, one question, is it balanced with just one wine bottle, or does it need a full group to sit?

Beautiful! I love the design! What did you use for the grapes?

It's a one of a kind wine rack, like the exquisite and intricate design. Beautiful work on the grapes and the leaves, it makes a great centerpiece on any table. Excellent job!

Thanks for all the positive feedback :) although it's not a centre piece for a table, you all gave me another idea... it's meant to hang on the wall, I liked it enough to make myself one.

it's about 30 inches long, the grapes are made from ball bearings, I cut the leaves out of 1/8 sheet with plasma then textured them after warming them in a propane forge, using a blunt chisel to make veins and peen the edges a little. then basicaly just shaped them to the curve of a bottle and rolled out the opposite way to show the leaf.  used 1/8 round stock to make stems to tie it all together. I used the leaves to hide the welds etc. a little tedious 12hrs approx start to finish... sold it for $250.

here is the one I made for myself, hanging on the kitchen wall.

Thanks for giving us the information!
