14 Bottle English Oak Wine Rack (Infinity)

Introducing the 14 Bottle English Oak Wine Rack (Infinity), a truly unique piece of handcrafted artistry, designed and created in our South Devon workshop on Dartmoor. This remarkable wine rack has been carefully sculpted from a characterful piece of locally sourced English Oak, chosen for its striking grain patterns, natural imperfections, and enduring strength. Combining functionality with sculpture, it is both a practical storage solution and a statement piece of organic design.

Standing at an impressive 37 inches tall, 16 inches wide, and 12 inches deep, this wine rack has a commanding presence while retaining a natural, earthy warmth. With 14 precisely drilled holes, the bottles are displayed in a flowing composition shaped in the form of the infinity symbol, a design choice that evokes timelessness, continuity, and balance. This English Oak Wine Rack not only holds your collection but also turns it into a feature of beauty and symbolism within your home.

This particular piece of Oak is rich with natural splits, cracks, and characterful markings that tell the story of its life. To preserve and strengthen these features, hardwood bow ties have been meticulously inlaid: one positioned across the top end grain, another securing a split on the side, and three carefully fitted across the back. These traditional joinery details not only provide long-lasting stability but also add a contrasting decorative element, celebrating craftsmanship as much as practicality.

The surface has been further enhanced with subtle burning techniques, which draw out and accentuate the dramatic natural splits and fissures. These darker veins create an organic rhythm across the English Oak Wine Rack, highlighting the Oak’s story and amplifying its raw yet refined aesthetic.

Adding another layer of individuality, the front features delicate pyrography engravings depicting two small baby trees. These etched designs sit gracefully to the left and right at the top, symbolising growth, renewal, and nature’s resilience. Each hand-burned detail is unique, ensuring no two racks will ever be identical. This artistic addition transforms the piece into not just furniture, but also a symbolic artwork in wood.

The wine rack has been carefully sanded and finished to a fine gloss shine using multiple coats of premium oils. This finishing process not only enriches the Oak’s natural tones but also provides protection, ensuring the piece will last for generations. Finally, the rack is branded with the Crystal Woods trade mark, a signature of authenticity and artisanal excellence.

Beyond its obvious role as a wine rack, this piece serves as a sculptural presence in any living space, dining room, or wine cellar. Its organic form and flowing infinity layout make it a natural conversation starter, blending seamlessly with rustic interiors, modern converted apartments, or country homes. Whether partially filled with select bottles or proudly displaying a full collection, it elevates the act of wine storage into an experience of beauty and meaning.

This English Oak Wine Rack (Infinity) makes an extraordinary gift for wine lovers, collectors, or those who appreciate handcrafted design. It is also an ideal unique Christmas present, offering not just utility but a piece of art that embodies nature, craftsmanship, and longevity. At Crystal Woods, we also welcome bespoke commissions, so clients can request customised wine racks and other one-off pieces tailored to their own home and lifestyle.
