Buffet made out of poplar with a wormy cherry top. Buffet is about five feet long and holds up to twelve wine glasses and eight bottles of wine. Making the cherry grid to hold the wine bottles was trickiest part as I had to create a puzzle in order for all sides to fit inside one another and wedge tight in the center bottom of the buffet.

Best, Serge
