Tree Trunk Wine Racks: Natural Beauty Meets Every Day Function

If you love things that tell a story, the grain of wood, the irregular edges, the way a piece looks different from every angle, then our tree trunk wine racks are made for you. At Crystal Woods, we believe that furniture should do more than just be useful. It should bring atmosphere, texture, and soul into your home.

We draw on over 25 years of experience in bespoke carpentry and artisan joinery, crafting furniture and woodwork that blend tradition, quality, and creativity. Based in Dartmoor, Devon, our workshop combines local timber sourcing with skilled craftsmanship, ensuring every piece is a unique statement of both form and function. Our commitment to handcrafted excellence and a personalised customer approach is evident across our impressive range of custom furniture, including our exceptional tree trunk wine racks.

Handcrafted in our Dartmoor workshop, each rack begins life as a trunk, stump, or beam of wood with its own past. Some are cut from solid oak, some are shaped from spalted ash driftwood, and others are created from re-claimed oak beams that have already lived another life. We also work with beautiful pieces that deserve to be preserved and transformed, like our 5 Bottle Spalted English Walnut Wine Rack. What ties them all together is the same commitment: turning raw timber into a functional piece of art for your home and your wine collection.

Why our wooden Tree Trunk Wine Racks capture hearts

One-of-a-kind pieces

Every wood tree wine rack we make has its own character, knots, spalting, bark, grain. When you choose one, you’re bringing home something that truly can’t be replicated.

Rustic warmth with fine finish

From the bark edges of a Tree Stump Driftwood Spalted Ash Wine Rack to the careful detail of a smooth finish, we work with wood in a way that honours its original shape while refining it to suit a modern home.

Built to last

Using timbers like cedar, ash and oak, including salvaged treasures and hardwood ties, our racks are designed to last. Each rack goes through a thoughtful finishing process that highlights the wood’s natural grain and ensures durability. The result is a finished item that is both beautiful and strong.

Statement furniture that feels like home

Whether made from a striking oak beam or a slender trunk of Ash, these racks don’t fade into the background. They become part of the room’s story.

Frequently Asked Questions about tree trunk wine racks

What makes a tree trunk wine rack different from standard wooden wine racks?

Our tree trunk designs use the original shape of the wood, trunks, stumps, or beams, rather than uniform planks. Each one is unique, and the finishing process ensures the natural beauty is highlighted.

Do you only use solid oak for your racks?

Not at all. While we do craft racks from solid oak, we also work with Ash, Chestnut, Walnut, re-claimed oak, cedar, and spalted Beech. Each wood type offers a different look and feel, and the finished item always reflects the timber’s character.

Where are the racks made?

Every piece is handcrafted in our Dartmoor workshop, where we work with both freshly cut timber and salvaged treasures sourced from across the UK.

How many wine bottles do the racks hold?

Our racks vary in size, from smaller stump racks that hold a handful of bottles to larger statement pieces like the 20-bottle Lebanese Cedar Wine Rack.

How do I look after my wine rack?

To keep your rack beautiful, simply dust or wipe with a soft cloth and apply preserving oil occasionally. For racks with a smooth finish, a gentle polish from time to time will help maintain the surface.

Can I request a custom finished rack?

Yes. If you’d like a particular size, timber, or design, let us know. We often adapt pieces, whether it’s a smoother finished item from an oak beam, or something more rustic like a Tree Stump Driftwood Spalted Ash Wine Rack.

Customer Review

“After a long search we found Crystal Woods website and commissioned Llewie to create a bespoke 15 bottle wine rack from a chestnut log that he selected. It was a pleasure to do business with Llewie.

His communications where excellent throughout the project, including photos and videos showing how the work was progressing. We were delighted with the result which truly demonstrated the high level of his craftsmanship. “

Richard Sutcliffe

Are your tree trunk wine racks eco-friendly?

Absolutely. Many of our racks are made from re-claimed oak or other salvaged species that would otherwise be waiting to be logged up for fire wood. By reusing and re-shaping these timbers, we give them new life as functional furniture.
