Live Edge Ash Tree Stump Wine Rack – 8 Bottle Handcrafted Statement Piece
Introducing a masterfully handcrafted creation that fuses the untamed beauty of nature with refined artistry: the Live Edge Ash Tree Stump Wine Rack. Designed to hold eight bottles, this extraordinary piece is sculpted from a single section of authentic English Ash, making it as unique as the tree from which it was hewn. With its perfect balance of rustic charm and artistic detailing, it is both a functional storage solution and an inspiring work of art.
Celebrating Nature’s Character
The most striking feature of this wine rack is its deep connection to the natural world. The original bark remains intact along the edges, providing a raw and rugged texture that pays homage to the Ash tree’s origins. This natural surface, full of character and imperfections, ensures that every rack is one of a kind. It grounds the piece in authenticity, creating a rustic presence that makes it equally at home in a countryside kitchen or a modern converted loft.
Carved Grapes – An Artistic Tribute
Adding to its visual intrigue, the Live Edge Ash Tree Stump Wine Rack is decorated with hand-carved and delicately painted grape clusters. Sculpted directly into the face of the wood, these scolloped bunches in rich shades of blue and black provide a captivating focal point. They serve as a symbolic nod to the fruit of the vine, elegantly linking the artwork to its purpose. This artistic detail softens the ruggedness of the bark, blending sophistication with whimsy in a way that makes the rack instantly recognisable and full of charm.
Strength and Structure – The Bow Tie Joints
While the artistic flourishes steal the eye, the craftsmanship is equally visible in its construction. Three carefully placed bow tie joints, crafted from exotic Padauk, adorn the top end grain, acting both as decorative accents and as structural reinforcements. Four further bow ties in Oak and Beech strengthen the base, ensuring the rack retains stability and integrity over time. These contrasting timbers introduce visual variety, highlighting the pale tones of the Ash with rich flashes of colour.
Size, Finish, and Presence
Standing at an impressive 27 inches tall and measuring 14 inches in diameter, this wine rack makes an elegant presence in any room. Finished in oil with a semi-gloss sheen, the surface glows with warmth, enhancing the natural tones of the Ash while protecting it for years to come. The finish adds depth to the grain, accentuating swirls, cracks, and features that bring character and individuality to the piece.
A Wine Rack that Tells a Story
This is more than storage; it is a centrepiece that embodies the union of nature and craftsmanship. Every detail of the Live Edge Ash Tree Stump Wine Rack tells a story, from the preserved bark to the painted grapes, from the structural bow ties to the natural splits that whisper of age and resilience. It is a piece designed to spark conversation and admiration, an expression of rustic refinement that elevates the way you display your wine.
A Statement of Rustic Elegance
Whether placed in a cosy home, a stylish apartment, or a contemporary wine cellar, the Live Edge Ash Tree Stump Wine Rack delivers a timeless statement. It celebrates the raw beauty of English Ash while offering an elegant, functional purpose. This handcrafted creation is not just a wine rack; it is a story carved in wood, a celebration of craftsmanship, authenticity, and the pleasures of life.
