Today I finally got tired of looking at a busted bracket and no towel so I went foraging thru my storage room and found an old wine crate I've had since I worked at Centennial in Dallas 15 years ago. I pulled a bunch of those wooden crates out of the warehouse dumpster with the intention of making a wall mosaic out of them. I'll get around to that some day. This one had some decent stenciling and a nice wood grain. It was also exactly the right length.
It was meant to be.
I carefully took the crate apart, rubbed the board down with some Scott's Liquid Gold... Et voila!

Far out! About 20+ years ago, I acquired a couple of three-bin slanted wine displays at a yard sale. After a few years, I gave one to a friend, but I still have the Robert Mondavi one in the kitchen nook.
I repurposed those wooden wine crates into a bunch of stuff. I took 2 of them that had hinged lids and made medicine cabinets for the master bath. I made an end table out of some others. There's 100's of uses for them.
I wonder if anyone ships in wood anymore? They were getting rare back in the 90's. Too heavy and expensive.
