    Default Hall Stand

    This is my first project in my workshop. I was living in USA at the time in a two bedroom apartment and my previous "workshop" was the kitchen bench after 7:30pm at night and between meals on the weekend

    That looks fantastic. Is it made from Oregon?

    Well done.

    Thanks Wongo.

    Its made from Red Oak. I bought from someone in Milwaukee Wisconsin. He said at the time it was "Pretty dry". I tested it to be 22%, so had it stacked on stickers at the end of our bed over the winter and by Spring it was ready to go.

    Where there's a will there's a way. Got to be keen - store the wood a the foot of the bed, then use the kitchen as a workshop. Top marks for the hall stand.

    I can't take credit for the design. I searched the internet looking at antique sites with pictures and found this one and then made up some dimensions that would fit the space we had.

    That's a nice hall stand Woodcutta. Good interpretation of a traditional looking design.

    Stick it between the back of your lounge suite and the wall and cover it with a nice rug. Much neater than in the bedroom.

    Thanks for all the comments.


    Major - there is one contributing factor for the allowance to put the timber in the bedroom - SWMBO was the one who asked for the piece. Had I wanted to put wood there to dry for a workbench - DIFFERENT STORY!!
