Great looking wine rack, Id definitely open that 15th bottle rather than leave it on the carpet.

Very nice, like the wood combo!

One question for you, anything planned for the mitered frame around the bookmatched section? I always like that look, but never sure if movement would allow the miters to stay closed.

Thanks for the input.

Interesting you ask about the mitered frame, I am starting a new coffee table and matching end table and was considering doing something on the corners for just that reason.

I haven't had any issues with the corners opening on 2 projects I have used this method, but I'm sure it could bite me one day. The frame is fastened to the top with biscuits, making sure one is right at each corner of the top. I'm sure this really doesn't help the corner from moving.

I was thinking of using hidden splines on the corners or maybe even just a dowel or 2, depending on the width of the frame.

I think something to help support couldn't hurt in the long run. Wouldn't take much expansion across that top to open those up a bit. Then again, if they didn't open and there was some real expansion, not sure what would happen. I suppose until then, keep them going since it looks great!

Nice work.
