A towel rack
A good customer and friend had a request for a quick little project . He had a nasty old piece of cherry and an old lobster pot mahogany runner he wanted me to make in to a towel rack for the wife .
I forgot to take photos before I started , but here is the end result .
Ripped the cherry plank down to three and a half inches wide and ran it through the thickness planer and jointer to clean it up .
Trimmed it to match the thirty six inch length of the lobster pot runner .
Ran the router around it , drilled some holes , and hit it with some 150 grit sandpaper .
A couple of 5/8ths inch maple dowels fit snug enough to need no glue .
A quick wipe with some stain and some Johnson's clear paste wax to bring the cherry back to life .
There , that should make the missus happy .

Didn't know you're an artist too...
ReplyDeleteTrouble is the "Artiste" label is a bit highfalutin for this slob.
DeleteLooks good!
ReplyDeleteSpiffy ain't it?
DeleteNice. Simple yet elegant.
ReplyDeleteYea, I like it, trouble is MY wife saw it and now she wants one too.
DeleteI like the contrast, M! And Merry Christmas to you both!
ReplyDeleteYea the combination of cherry, maple and mahogany made it all pop. Wish I'd taken a shot of the junk I started with. It was fun to make. Merry Christmas to you too Glen.
DeleteLove it. That really works well.
ReplyDeleteHope you managed to have a good Christmas.
Hey Kev, thanks for stopping by. Christmas was, tolerable. . . for someone who does not really deal with choreographed happiness all that well. All major family conflict and crisis were averted. I am glad all the rigmarole is over and I can hide back in my cave again. I seen your new kitchen, you've done a swell job of it. That was one mad dash to get it done for the festivities. I don't know how you do it.
