Grape Wood Uses
- Matured grape wood is chipped into small pieces to be used as smoke wood. This is especially popular in France, Italy and the western United States. The grape wood adds a sweet, fruity wine flavor to foods such as small game birds, pork products and fish.
- Grape wood is used to decorate terrariums for small and medium sized reptiles. It also provides the reptiles with a mode for climbing. The grape wood should be at least 2 inches in diameter to be suitable for terrarium use. If the wood is large enough, it can also be used in bird cages as a playground.
- Beautiful wreaths made of grape wood can be purchased or hand-made and hung around the home to provide a rustic appeal to walls and doors. The wood must be weaved into the wreath form before it completely dries out and hardens. Grape wood is also used to transform picture frames, create baskets and manufacture pens for use around the home.
- Elegant table stands are sculpted from thick, sometimes even centuries-old grape wood. Chairs can be molded by weaving and form the grape wood together as it hardens. These custom crafted home pieces can be purchased online, through flea markets and even put together as a do-it-yourself project. Grape wood furniture is an excellent choice for people who want to be eco-friendly.
