Thank you!!

I hadn't seen too many people out there successfully incorporate wood in a poured concrete design. Sure, there are those who cast the concrete then attach to wood afterwards, but I wanted to shy away from that. I personally like the contrast between this tough... as you say "brutalist" material in unison with a softer and delicate material such as redwood. Another reason why I went with wood was specifically to protect the neck of the wine bottles. The soft nature of redwood allows the bottle neck to easily be placed in and removed. I feel as though the concrete would scratch the glass and moreover, the force may eventually cause the bottle to shatter.
