With 40 years of woodworking experience and 15 years of wine cellar design and construction, we design, fabricate, and install custom wine racking, architectural millwork, and custom furniture.

Built with White Oak solids and Ply, Stone counter by others.
​​
Describe, in detail, the project/item's construction.
This under $10k wine room racking was a small space next a bar area ,just large enough to allow the clients to display their small collection.
Case storage, display row for special bottles and horizontal bottle storage on wood hands allow viewing of bottle labels and for space on the counter to decant a bottle for the evening or gathering.

What is the most unusual aspect or outstanding characteristic of this entry?
The horizontal display is both functional an artistically appealing way to display the bottle in particular array or pattern using the custom shaped wood holders that can match or contrast the back veneered wall. In this example the 3 row sets faced each other and can be viewed from the bar out side.

List any items that were outsourced.
Stone counter
