Gnarly Head Wine Floorstand
"Here's an instance where I think the intent was right, but the display was lacking in the final effect. Gnarly Head wine -- from its unusual name to the bottle labels -- is trying to suggest the ancient vines that produce superior grapes and thus fine wines. From a distance, it does have the right look. But up close, the wooden display is just too flat, smooth and "finished" to truly convey this effect. I wanted to see distressed, knotty, twisted wood with a variety of tones. Perhaps some kind of molded resin or plastic would have created a more realistic look."
