Wine Rack: "Tipsy"
"Tipsy" is a wine rack inspired by the shape of a wine bottle, is made of curved, tapered laminations of Cherry with Bloodwood accents. It stands about five and a half feet high and holds twenty two wine bottles. The wine rack can be custom ordered in smaller or larger sizes. It can also be made as a set, with each section a slightly different curving shape. I would love to talk with you about making one or more of these wine racks for your home -- it has a sense of playfulness that was fun to work on.

Timothy's Fine Woodworking
I have been working professionally with wood for over 30 years. A native of Montana, I have always had an interest in art and wood working. I majored in philosophy and fine art at university, started a family, worked for the railroad as a carpenter for many years then opened my shop, Timothy's Fine Woodworking in 1982.
I am especially interested in expressing movement in my furniture, as well as exploring the natural elements of the wood. Early on I was influenced by the work of Tage Frid, George Nakashima and Sam Maloof. I often incorporate the live edge of the boards into my tables, and use the natural grain and color of different woods in my designs.
In addition to studio furniture, I also make custom cabinets and other custom furniture. I enjoy working with my customers, listening to what they want, and giving my attention to every detail, from the selection of the wood to the finished design. I try to honor the spirit of the material I use, in the finished pieces.
"I hope my art that people use everyday helps them reconnect to the spirit of the natural world."
