Polished Steel 3-Bottle Wine Holder

Did you know the metal bands around a wine barrel are usually made from steel?  After removing the bands from a reclaimed/used wine barrel, I twist and bend them so they hold as many as three wine bottles.  Earlier in the week, I sanded and polished the metal.  I took off the anodized outer coating, bufffed one side of the steel, and applied a clear seal coat.  It looks like stainless steel but it is a polished set of bands from reclaimed wine barrels turned into a functional centerpiece.
