A new twist on an old idea



Here is a key rack that I have been working on for a while.  The hooks have gotten pretty routine, but making the matching hooks on either side and the twist on the center hook took some effort.  I like this because it used skills that I have developed (rather than relying on new, unhoned skills), but applied them in a new way and a new aesthetic.  The bloc of wood in the background is hardwood from an old barn and the upper edge is raw and unfinished.  I put a heavy patina on the hooks to match the colors in the wood, but still have to "finish finishing" the wood itself.   I think that the hanger will probably be a routed hole in the back, but I am considering something more elaborate in steel...
