Wine Display Case
This wine display case was designed for a couple’s anniversary dates. It will be filled with 3 of their favorite wines or champagnes from the year they were married. The first Bottle will be opened on their wedding day, and then the remaining bottles will be opened every 25 years, raising a glass to all the accomplishments they have achieved as a couple and the ones that remain in their future. The top tray will contain notepads for them to journal their thoughts and write notes to each other to be read in the coming years.
The case is made from walnut, and the top is accented with Genuine Mahogany. For the inside of the case, I carved a foam block to cradle the glasses perfectly and hold various wine bottle shapes. After the foam was carved to shape, it was flocked with a green flocking to give it an elegant look.

very elegant brian. i love the look of walnut and mahogany. they might want to shorten the time line though, not many wines will be good to drink after 50+ years. or they might not make it that long either-lol.
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
That is a great looking box.
I agree with Potz. That wine won't be drinkable; probably even in 10 years. For wine to last longer it takes a special vintage and very careful temperature and humidity controlled storage. I suggest you replace the wine with a good Scotch or Whiskey that will last that long.........even if it is opened just for a sip every 10 years.
An after thought. If the lucky couple last long enough the box could be used to hold their ashes...together...for ever.

Nice!
I'm with Pottz, wood combo is A+.
The design of the interior is amazing, have to admire the fit of those glasses into the foam!

Nicely done! I like the wood contrast as well!
Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".
Nicely made display case.
I don't think we've ever had a bottle of wine for longer than a month around here.
