I'm wanting to make a rack out of wood for a few empty spirit bottles.
I'm looking for a dark wood with the rings showing.
What wood would be best to use
Please consider I am a novice at this |

Pine and burnish it; a very cheap option so it doesn’t cost the earth to have a few attempts. Pine is very easy to work with too for a beginner.
Burnishing is fun too. You scorch the surface using a blow torch and all the swirls and rings stand out clearly. If you overdo it you can sand it down a bit. |

Burnishing is just a carpenters posh word for ‘giving it a hard rub’  |

Excuse me? Are you suggesting that my Sunday reading club is, in fact, a cover for a 2 hour and 8 minutes circle jerk wankathon? |

Have you only just begun? Once you've done it will you be on top of the world? Whilst waiting for bits to arrive I bet you'll be thinking "please mr postman" and you'll be a superstar for doing something you've never done before

I live in Somerset. Of course I like them. They play live gigs in every single pub every single night so it’s hard to avoid them. |

It’s like heaven, ain’t it just? Just with electricity too, these days. Ah, the sunny mendips of a Saturday afternoon stroll. Thems were the days, my friend, I’d thought would never end. Bloody Mary! Who sang that?!?!  |

"You said wood 
He also said rings showing 
Oooo errrrr 
Are you implying he wants to touch the rim?
Nah. Just look at it longingly "
I'm sure it'll be a lovely piece when he's finished manipulating it |
