I have made a few of these now as gifts for guys transferring. This one I made from tiger maple and I trimmed it with wenge. I used TransTint orange, reddish brown and a few drops of dark vintage maple to get the color I was after. This was my first attempt at french polishing with shellac. That is a tough skill to hone. -- Senior Chief | |||||||

Well done Senior! Love the wood choice and the finish. Looks like a million bucks.

I like that! It’s a cool idea using the shells. The finish reminds me of what you might see on a guitar. Good job.

Great looking maple coat rack! I like the color you ended up with very much. Some of my best success has been with maple and also some of my biggest failures…
