Project Information

Mom has been wanting a scarf holder for YEARS. Any pre-woodworking ideas I had for making one were best left undone. Then I got interested in woodworking, found this site and other examples like this one by KnotCurser. I put my own spin on the theme and came up with this. It is made of 3/4" pine, drilled with a hole saw on the drill press and all edges rounded over with the compact router my sweetie bought me. The notes were inspired by this project of bazz135uk and are cut from 1/8" walnut and glued in place. There are 3 french cletes holding proud of the wall to give the scarves room to be added/removed easily. Finished with gloss poly.
Confession: This was last year's Christmas present that I didn't actually get finished and hung until Spring. I don't do well with dead lines.
Thanks for looking. Any comments are appreciated. I love the sharing attitude of the members on this site. You all continue to inspire me. For that, I thank each and everyone of you!

Candy,
Great job on this project! I love how you spaced it off the wall so the scarves can go through the holder instead of just hanging them on hooks.
There are no dead lines on work produced by the heart!
Nice job on the finish too!!!

Very nice, Candy! I know what you mean by deadlines. They always arrive too quickly. I have a theory that scarves reproduce alongside of those wire hangers.

NICE, Candy !!!

I would have used small lengths of board and then assembled them with scarf joints, but that's just me. :)

Looks great, Candy. The added notes are a nice touch!

How did Mom like the french cleat being installed on her wall? LOL.

What's that yellow cylindrical thingy in the last photo? Looks pretty handy! :) I don't think my model would do very well on those holes…

That's a great idea and you did a great job Candy. The finish looks great as well, helps those scarfs slide in and out with ease. Also, that's a lot of scarves.

Thank you all for the comments and encouragement!
James, the 'how do I mount it' question was one of the biggest hang ups, if you will, in the project.
Dave, scarves are my mom's clothing equivalent to rabbits! Holding on to those circle cut outs for … something!
Klaus, I'm not done procrastinating on this year's Christmas!
Monte, in the words of Lucy to Schroeder "THAT'S IT!"
Eddie, she is very pleased with it!
John, you are the Master Po to my humble Grasshopper.
Terry, I made mom wait in the other room while my sister helped me hang it(always good to have an accomplice, uh, I mean an extra set of hands
