Wood Magazine had the plans for a fish shapped wine bottle holder in 9/06 issue. I think I still have it somewhere down in the shop. Will look later today.

My son & I made wine rack from this Ron Hazelton plan -- easy to make and works like a charm:

45 angle and no angle on the hole it is drilled while the stock is flat and 90 degrees to the fron and back sufaces.This is how I make mine.Oh hole is 1.25-1.5".Good Luck,Victor

landfiller I was going to ask the very question you stated my answer I needed before I could ask.But I will ask anyway because some one else may have a different way. On what angle if any do i drill the hole for the bottle i did it straight down but i cant get it to stand I did cut the bottom on a 40 degree angle.

I cut mine at 45 degrees that may make it stand better?i have had no issues balancing about any wine bottle on mine that are 9-13" long x just under 3" wide.I do use thicker then 3/4" stock though I know it can be done,but I use 7/8-1" thick for the most part.The hole is only about two inches from the top.Hope that helps out,Victor

They've been a good seller too... I'm working on another batch for the fall show stocks... LOML suggested I pair them with a bottle stopper as a Christmas gift idea.
