The usual – quick planing and ripping to width.

The corners were not identical and due to their size planing was the only option. It helped to remove the excess material.

Cutting to length and quick assembly, using wine bottles to make sure it’s cut properly.

Assembled and filled with bottles. As you can see I’m a big fan of screws, I like when they’re exposed and visible. I’m also avoiding countersunk screws because they’re too common. I’m very happy with how the dividers are holding in place – no fixings, no glue, no nothing – just wood. They’ve shrunk a little overnight but they’re still holding.

2 coats and quick buffing. Excess wax was removed with a stiff brush.
