Project Story:
I designed and built two suitcase/luggage racks for a customer in Arizona that has previously purchased a Western Style Mirror (another project to post some day).

I met the family at the Western Design Conference last year in Cody, WY. The mirror I had on display that they liked, I had sold earlier in the day to a gallery in Reno, NV, so I built them another mirror, carving a Texas Style Star on the top, and some lettering that fit their home. A few months later, they asked for these luggage racks to be designed to match the Mirror. All of the pieces are in the family’s resort home in the mountains.

Normally, you see these type of luggage racks in a chromed metal tube with black canvas straps. Pretty ugly, but that apparently is about all any hotel can buy on the market. Hopefully, that will change some day.

This particular set of Luggage Racks have been built in Walnut, have Distressed Leather straps I purchased through my friends in Durango, www.skyhorse.com, who are most likely the best saddle makers living in the world right now. They are extremely busy, but fit this little project in for me. The carving is gold-powder painted. I tried to make these a piece of functional-art and stay within the customer’s budget.
