Those are great.  The attention to detail, both from the pattern perspective and from the cutting and assembly really makes the pieces.  If you notice from the pattern side, the bottle is slightly magnified when looking through the wine glass.  Adds to the realism.

OK, I give up!   ???  How did you get a half glass of wine without uncorking the bottle???   ;D




Just teasing you a little.   ;)  I really like the project and can see where it would fit right in to decor in alot of different places.  :)

Wow!  I really like that.  My kitchen has wine themed decor.  And my walls are merlot color.  I'll let you in on a little secret though... I don't really like wine.   ;)

EclipseScroller, Thanks for the complement! It was really an easy cut. The hardest part was shaping the individual grapes. I came up with a neat Little holder to shape them on the sander.
Rapid Roger, The wine in the glass came from an other bottle! ::)

Those grapes look good enough to eat!  LOL, bet I'd get spinters in my tongue (assuming my teeth survived).

It's finished pieces like this that make me want to start working in Intarsia.  Great job!
