Wine is passion, commission on wood

From a friend, which is the owner of a small local grotto (a tipycal restaurant in the south Swiss area), I received a commision to represent wine on a piece of wood.

So at first I studied a sketch, I wanted to represent both red and white wine surrounded by some typical product, and give to the image a kind of vintage, natural and rural taste but in the meantime an elegant meaning.

So I came out with this:

After the approval I contacted a friend who's a lumberjack, so he provided to me a good-fragrant-just cutted slice of chestunt.

I then had to smooth the surface and treat it with proper product. 

After one day I started to paint with acrylics. It took me some days to finish it, and finally I just passed over a couple of hands of glossy wood varnish.

The writing above says in italian: "wine is passion"

It was great to work with wood!

Just tell me!

• Do you like wine? What kind is your favourite?
• Do you like to create? What do you do and what are the materials do you prefere to work with?

Let me know in the comments!
