Saddle Rack

This is a saddle rack that I made from oak for a friend. He sent me a couple of photos from a saddle rack that he saw that he wanted to give to his mother and asked if I could build one for him. I found some rough dimensions online and used the photos that he sent me to draft some plans. I added a little light golden oak dye to bring out the grain and then sanded the majority of the color off just leaving the deep color in the grain and then added the topcoat Osmo Poly-Oil. This is the first time I have used the Osmo Poly-Oil and I have to admit the stuff is great to work with and simple to finish. The finish is soft to the touch and look just beautiful.

Back about 50 years ago I was slowly starting up my wood tools collection. Had a very inexpensive table saw, A craftsman, right from the sears store. The one I'm still using today. Darn, should have taken a picture of it! A real old friend.
Anyway, was thinking of Van and his growth. The challenges to the new wood worker. So expensive to get started these days.
Wanted to show what I did without skills or knowledge. No fancy or precise corners. I just lapped the corners and used the brass nails as a feature. They have lasted the years.
Couple more boxes in my hourglass post, in my projects. Page 7. Sorry, don't know how to transfer pictures.
Anyway, great looking wood, well sanded will make up for lack of skills, sometimes…lol…
I like to put felt on the bottom of the boxes. On these I used the felt on the lids too. Makes them fit snug.
Thanks for looking, just old stuff here…
