This unit can be built using pretty much any type of wood you’d like, and can be stained or painted. In the case of the prototype you’ll see as you go through the plans, we were fortunate enough to procure some nice material that was “rescued” from a local restaurant as it was being gutted for remodeling.
If you choose to paint the wine rack, poplar or pine would be a good choice, but if you would prefer to stain the unit, try maple or oak for a nice finish. You’ll want to paint or stain the unit before assembly, as it will be a bit difficult to finish the wood after the unit has been fully assembled.
This is a fun woodworking project to build, and one that will certainly become a conversation piece in your kitchen for years to come.
