My sister owns a floral and home furnishings store and uses a lot of wrapping tissue for the flower arrangements. Unfortunately, she didn’t have a convenient place to keep the tissue handy and one day expressed a desire for a rack of some kind for all the different papers. I offered my help (besides, it was her birthday) and built her this “thing” which is my take on a blanket/quilt rack but for 2’ wide reams of various tissue paper. I had a lot of clear heart redwood (which I used on my last project) and combined that with oak. The main rail had some superficial but long cracks on one face, so I inlaid a large oak dutchman and then matched it on the other side as well. Joinery is mortise/tenon and contrasting oak dowels.

mrtrim: Yes, that’s oak as well. Given the softness of redwood, I put something hard where it meets the floor.
