Maple Wooden Wine Bottle Holder with Lighted Wine Bottle

With a little time and the right tools, you can easily create this rustic maple wood bottle stand or holder with Christmas lights.

I used a piece of maple from a limb of a dead tree my brother cut. It had to set for a few months but the outcome provides a nice rustic look for home decor.

Do not center the hole in the wood. If  you do, the weight of the bottle will topple the entire piece backward.

Start above the center and create a series of holes by drilling several at a (approximate) 45 degree angle making sure the circumference is large enough to accommodate the top of the bottle.

With a Dremel, we finished cutting the hole and added a small groove on the bottom back of the wood piece with a cutter bit then sanded with a sanding bit to smooth the edges (and - of course - to make marketable since we're selling this piece on ebay).

Using 100 grit sand paper, we sanded the top and back of the wooden bottle stand.

We didn't touch the outside since it's beautiful as is. We simply applied three coats of furniture oil to bring out the color and grain.

We washed the bottle and removed the label, let dry then inserted a string of 30-count Christmas lights, making sure to run the cord in the groove we made earlier.

This project didn't even take up an entire day to create once the wood was dry.

Below are "rustic look" items to give as gifts... Or to buy for yourself.
