Wine Helix

It's hard to pick favourites but...


This new cellar from Jacobson Construction is
a real beauty.
Walnut racking, quartz counters, tile running from the floor up the wall, ceiling mounted cooling unit, glass wall and door with oil-rubbed bronze hardware, and then there's these...


An original design and built by Jacobson Construction in house.
I'm calling it a wine helix.  First the posts were turned on the lathe, then a series of holes were drilled into the centre.  Every hole shifts a little further around the circumference, traveling 180 degrees from top to bottom.  The effect is a little like a spiral staircase... made from wine bottles:)


Insert "Stairway to Heaven" joke here.


I am pretty proud of this.

Hall Table #1

Introducing
the achingly beautiful
Hall Table #1


Open cubby below, drawers above.


Set off by tapered legs and a gorgeous, live edge top.


Coloured epoxy fills the knot-hole.


Drawers open...


...with a push.


Walnut veneer wraps around the back of the cabinet,
allowing the piece to function as a room divider.


A welcome sight at home.
