I took a walk the other morning and the idea of a coat rack using reclaimed wood and tree branches popped into my head. I saw so many unique pieces of wood that would make one-of-a-kind pieces.

Later that day I grabbed my chainsaw and headed out into the woods. I spent an hour loading up the trailer with 100’s of pieces from fallen trees. The cutting and loading was a great workout! Once back in the shop the fun part started… the hand selecting of branches and reclaimed wood. No single one looks the same. By the end of the first day I had made 15 racks. I am now on day three and cannot stop coming up with new ideas and layouts. Needless to say, I will be making many many more of these!

Here are photos from my first batch.
