Wineglass display shelf

Build a display shelf that is as elegant as your stemware

Some woodworking projects are solo efforts; others are more collaborative. The design committee for this project—namely, my wife, Marianne—wanted a wineglass shelf for our kitchen counter. Her stipulations were simple: the shelf must hold four of her treasured wineglasses, and it must not look like a traditional, round wineglass display shelf. Although zebrawood is an expensive hardwood, it was my first choice for this project because of its dramatic grain. Since there is not much material required for my design, the cost won’t hurt the pocketbook. This display shelf consists of four primary parts: a top shelf, a bottom shelf and two support brackets. Mill all wood to a final thickness of 3/4″, then start building.
