Rustic Coat Rack/Shelf
After a late summer down pour I was encouraged to build a coat rack for the cabin mud room. I had found the inspiration for this project months ago on Pinterest.
It is four and a half feet long. The shelf is a 1″x6″ and the back is a 1"x10″. They are fastened with pocket screws. I started by ripping 1/4″ strips of scrap 1″ stock. I increased the width by 1/4″ four more times until I had enough to varying sized blocks to make the five colored rows. Used four different stains to give it some variety. Burgandy is my wife’s accent color so I sprayed that on some blocks and distressed them. The blocks are just hot glued on and they are there to stay. We could have gone with consistent hooks but decided to shake things up.
The shelf doesn’t have a bend in it. That is camera distortion. Sorry.
