It's a wine bottle holder/display box. I saw it in a woodworking magazine that I subscribe to and thought it looked like a fun project, however not being a wine drinker, I needed to find someone to give it to. So I put up a post asking a question about wine bottles, David was the first one to give me a straight forward answer, so that's how I made my decision on who to send it to.
Funny thing is, when it was all finished and I posted the final pic of it, David was also the first one to reply, it was destiny.
David, I just hope it smelled as good when you opened it as it did when I sent it out, man I love the smell of varnish! Glad you like it and I'm looking forward to seeing a pic of it with a bottle in it. I'd have put one in, but not being a wine guy I didn't want to embarrass myself.
I did have my first port last week though and it was pretty tasty (for a cheap one I'm assuming) I think it was Six Cherries or something like that.
