Wine rack
The dovetails were hand cut. Butterfly keys were router cut and filled with a low melt point metal and are decorative, not structural. Base joinery is a modified bridle joint using separate, hand shaped pieces to connect the stretcher and legs. The cabinet rests on supports fastened with wedged, through tenons. Overall design was inspired by James Krenov.

Jim,
I would like to know the depth dimension that you settled on for the wine rack. I am in the process of building a wine cabinet, with a closing door, of "strangely" similar style to yours and would like any advice or expertise on bottle size. This is going to be a gift for my father, as I prefer beer, and I could use recommendations for bottle clearance. As of now my internal depth is aiming to be 14 1/2", most research tells me this is sufficient.
Thanks, Matt
Matt- The cabinet part of my rack is 12" deep which is the size of most of the red wind bottles I have. However, since it is open a longer length isn't a problem. The longest bottle currently in my collection is 13" so I would think the 141/2" you are considering would be sufficient.
