Wine Stave Bottle Rack

The staves hold the quiet curve of the barrel they came from — oak shaped by years in the cellar, the wood tightening under weight, the grain marked by time and wine. Cut and fitted into a compact frame, the arc of each piece still carries that original bend, a reminder of where the wood lived before.

Steel bands reclaimed from the same barrels form the bottle rests, their darkened patina and slight irregularities showing the work they once did binding oak under pressure. Oak and steel meet cleanly here, the warmth of the wood balanced by the cool, weathered metal.

The rack holds four bottles in a narrow, upright silhouette that fits easily on a counter, bar shelf, or small serving space. It feels like a fragment of the barrel brought forward — simple, sturdy, and shaped by its past rather than decorated over it.

Handcrafted in the USA from reclaimed California wine barrels, it keeps the lineage of the cooper’s craft intact while offering straightforward, functional storage.
