Here are a few things I have been working on.  I made a few coat hooks and assorted items.  I put some on Etsy.  I had the idea quite a while ago, I finally got some of them put together.

Double Coat Hook

For these I used Oak for the base.  I finished them with 5 coats of hand brushed lacquer.  They all have key hole slots in the back for hanging. I also coated the metal with a light coat of poly so that the metal does not rust.  Considering they are made from welded steel and oak, these are probably the most durable coat hangers on the market!  Of course, I am going for a 'fine' finish and a unique item, I think these qualify.
