Leaf-hook coat rack

[Dakman72]

I was tired of having the random coat or shirt on my bed frame, so I made a coat rack for my room! Took 2 afternoons of work time to forge the hooks, cut,sand,and coat the wood, and make the french cleat to attach it all to the wall. Stock was 3, 9 inch sections of quarter inch round finished with bees wax and the wood is red oak sealed with boiled linseed oil. Was my first time making and using a punch for the nail holes. All in all it was fun making this, plus it helps keep my room clean and I like how it looks! Hope yall enjoy.

Looks cool. You might want to curve the leaf tips down so they make more of a scroll and won't poke holes or catch onto your clothes.

Normally when I do a leaf hook I scroll the end of the leaf over as if I was doing a regular tapered scroll. Sharp pointy hooks for holding kitchen implements (where nobody can stick themselves onto them) with small holes and blunt hooks for fabrics. Let the intended use dictate the type of scroll, along with aesthetics.
