A couple small projects

[Rob Luter]

With the move this summer and most of my time having been spent at work or doing landscaping and other outdoor stuff, the tools have been pretty much idle. I finally finished up a couple small projects. Now that there's snow on the ground I'll be able to devote some time to building a new shop so I can do some larger pieces.

The coat rack is mahogany with SS hardware. Finish is Danish Oil and wax. It was a quick build for my daughter's apartment.

The frame for the tiles is some more of the curly QSWO I got a while back. Finish is also Danish Oil and Wax.

The tile holder looked like a window when I first saw it. Very nice.

And it's nice to do things like the coat rack a step up from utilitarian - adds some class to a place.

The Frame looks great, love the grain.

Did about the same thing for a coat rack for SWMBO.

Rod,

Good job on a neat looking frame. Did you use a natural Danish Oil or was it colored?

[Rob Luter]

I used Watco Black Walnut Danish Oil. Once it was dry I applied a thin coat of shellac to seal it up and then used paste wax. The figure in the wood is really amazing. The photo doesn't do it justice.

Nice work on both counts. Thanks for posting pictures,
