Wood Wine Stand

Have you ever lived with an engineer? They are wired problem-solvers so if you want sympathy and not solutions you need to say so. It was one of several tips I passed on to both of my sisters-in-law who early on were confused by their spouses eagerness to fix things.

So it was with big sister glee that I sent each one of my engineer brothers this handmade wood wine stand for Christmas.

It holds a wine bottle standing at an angle with no visible supports. Helps if the bottle neck is long to balance the bottle but still. Doesn’t this get your attention?

These wood wine stands were made in Missouri by the Splintered Spool, a Missouri company based in their home basement. Owners make these items when not working in full-time jobs. I found them at a local fall crafts fair. You can find them online through social media, Etsy and Facebook.

In addition to the wine stands, which they don’t currently have featured on their website, they have lovely wooden pens and bowls as well as custom totes and quilts. Their quilts are different than our custom quilts and both are interesting and lovely.

Now I’m waiting for a report from at least one engineer who will have deconstructed the design. And maybe even improved on it.

Yep, that’s an engineer!
