Rob Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 A customer wanted one of my Tui plaques but as a coat rack so this one is cut oversize at 24 x 12 inches and 3/4 inch thick. Reclaimed rimu as usual, this piece was the side panel of a kitchen drawer unit. There were some marks and holes where the drawer runners had been but I was able to cut some conical rimu pegs and insert them into the holes before cutting them flush. Finish is several coats of hand rubbed linseed oil, mineral spirits and varnish mixed in equal thirds. The customer will mount their own hooks along the bottom. Thanks for looking, Rob Birchbark, MTCowpoke22, oldhudson and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sad thing is the old rimu kitchens are often being ripped out to install modern chipboard ones. It's criminal really.
