Arts And Crafts-Mission With A Touch Of Greene And Greene Coat-Hat Racks With Art TilesThis piece is made from QSWO and mahogany. I've combined several styles into it from Mission, Arts and Crafts to a touch of Greene and Greene.Here are some of my build processes.After rough cutting the lumber I squared it up to it's final size at the table saw.Cutting the Corbels at the band saw.
Double taped and sanded the Corbels on the drum sander to get them to match.
This tall part wouldn't fit in my mortice machine and had to be drilled at the drill press and chiseled out.Here I'm cutting the tenons on the table saw.

Dry fittings to the the upper and lower pieces.
Now and can cut out the reverse cloud on the bottom of the piece.Filing and sanding out the saw marks with a Japanese safety file and sand paper.Now I can glue them.I needed a reveal on the front to create depth and on the back to be flush with a piece of oak plywood so I glued a 3/4” piece to a 3/8 piece I resawed at the band saw together to come up with a 1-1/8' + piece.I used this self center doweling jig on the parts and it worked great.


Cutting down the Mahogany frames and sanding them to their final length that surround the tiles.
Gluing in the Mahogany frame pieces.

After attaching the corbels from the rear and top I covered the top screw holes with square plugs.I covered up the openings with Press and Seal to keep the stain and finish from getting on the rear where the tiles will be attached with clear silicone caulking.The 6” tiles came with bumps on their sides which I had to grind off with a diamond disc for a tighter fit.I mix my own stain from fine artist oil colors. Some times it's better not to see how the sausage is made. 8^}
Then I mix it in a jar with 50% turps and 50% boiled linseed oil. Adding them until I get the right consistency.Here are the tiles I had made from some of my oil paintings and some photos of paintings of poppies I photo snapped on line.The company I used to make the tiles is called Imagesnap.com

This is the background I setup for the photos. The fabric is a reproduction of one made and designed by William Morris.
Well which rack do you like better? I have my favorite.Thanks for visiting.Best Regards,
