Or a hall tree? Made from solid Maple and Bibolo. A commissioned project whilst having the freedom to design on the fly, where it’s placement limitations were one of its few given factors. The entryway for which the coat rack is made has some striking purple wallpaper which I have tried to incorporate in the design by choosing not to install back paneling of any kind.
The finishing steps might look confusing, here’s an attempt to try and fill you in.
As both the Maple and Bibolo get a different base coat but the same top coat I have tried to overcome the need for masking the different species with tape, preventing the spill of a base coat on wood it shouldn’t go, nor having to cut or miter the mouldings after the finish was applied. I did this by using small domino’s helping out with alignment. The Maple receives a transparent, though slightly white pigmented, base coat in order to “preserve” Maples distinctive paleness. Without this prep coat the Maple would yellow due to the topcoat that is used on the total final project. All the Bibolo parts receive a generous base coat of oil before it’s top coat is applied.
To whomever cares:
Maple base coat Osmo 3041 1X thinly applied
Bibilo base coat Osmo 1101 2X generously applied
Top Coat Osmo 3064 2X thinly applied
