Well…. this is my first project post on Lumberjocks. A simple coat rack I built for my brother-in-law for his birthday. Being a builder, I think he really liked it.
The back is made from red oak and maple. The hammers are made from hammers….. Finished with BLO and a few coats of paste wax.
Although it was a pretty simple project, I learned a lot about the sanding and finishing process.
Questions, comments, and suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks for looking.

You just gave me a real good idea for my tool cabinet. I’ll find some small headed hammers, cut them square an inch or so below the hammer head and make them in to a door pull.
Thanks!

How are you attaching it to the wall ?

Thank you everyone for the feedback!
I have been a member for a bit, but too busy working on my house to really “get down to business” and build something worthy of posting. Although this thing is fairly simple, it was a good opportunity to use several tools that haven’t gotten enough love lately.
Dusty56 – I didn’t provide any mounting capability…. I told him that once he figures out where he wants to hang it, I would route some keyhole slots or whatever else makes sense.
