Coat Tree

(from Lumberjocks.com)


In an attempt to keep our house a little less cluttered when we have company, I made this coat tree for the front door area. I finally got around to it after about a year. In the meantime, my wife had purchased a bamboo (Ikea type) coat tree that has been in service.This is the usual woods for me, that match the rest of my furniture: hickory and walnut.
Finish is Danish oil, followed by 3 coats of wiped-on poly.The top hooks are cast iron that I purchased on the internet, I can't remember where now. The bottom hooks are hand forged by a fellow that sells them on Ebay.I'm really happy with how it all turned out. I drew up a plan, inspired by some of the items that I liked about other coat trees. It was fun dreaming it up, and it actually turned out just like the picture I drew.
