Back in May, I was searching the internet to find out if I had a Demijohn or not, I came across a couple of pictures of a vintage demijohn wine bottle inside a crate. I loved the look of the demijohn inside the crate and thought that would be easy to make. I saved the links in my favorite folder so I could try and make one when I had the time.
This weekend I found the time, and with the help of my husband I made a crate for my demijohn.
A close-up of the demijohn’s crate.
We used 1x1 1/2 inch pieces for the legs and firming strips to make the crate cross members. I applied a light stain and then lightly sanded some of it off.
I’m so happy with the way it turned out.
As always, thanks for stopping by.
