Not saying these are anywhere near the quality of Norm Abram.

Just enjoy working and creating items from wood.

Cutting Board of walnut and cherry for my sister:


Coasters from various woods in my scrap bin for my brother:


Curvey frames of oak and walnut for another sister:


And stack able wine bottle modules of wormey oak and mahogany for my other sister:




enjoy,
glen

Cross threading is better than two lock washers.

Looks really nice!

I've seen something similar to the curved thing but had a hole in it and stood up right and a wine bottle went in hole which balanced it and kept it up right

Better Explanation for the Curvey Frame

Again, Thanks for all the compliments.

Below is a photo of how the Curvey Frame works.



The frame is made of 5 thin slats, with middle slat having 1/2 inch remove from its height.

Tried to make the curvey wine bottle holder, but have not been successful.

Have made other wine bottle holders for friends.




Have a great day,
glen
