Cat Climber and Wine Holder

Wine Display

Made of poplar and laminated poplar to display a bottle of wine at 12 degrees.  I like the many colours that can be found in poplar. There are deep dark browns, almost black, in some of the laminated portions, a light green in the forward mount and a nice smokey grain in the base.



Three tiered cat climber


I wanted to make a cat climber that was attractive but could easily be stored away if you were entertaining. This climber is made of cedar and has three clip-on tiers that can be stored on the unit. the bottom tier is hinged and can be folded flat against the base. It is put together with knock-down furniture hardware and every part is replaceable should it become damaged.
