Tom S Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Just finished up a project to get my rods up off the ground and out of harm's way. To many rugrats around here to leave them in a corner by my desk anymore It's made from Baltic Birch, and has a leaping salmon in a west coast native motif carved into the back board. I'm going to see if I can come up with a way to finish the wood nicely and pick out the carving in black or black & red paint. But now I have another problem... My wife can see how many rods I actually own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisb Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Looks nice. Personlly I like open holes ao I can just set them in instead of threading through the holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron4blues Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Very nice job! I'd say if you're going to apply a finish to make it a natural one to keep the texture and show off the grain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom S Posted May 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Looks nice. Personlly I like open holes ao I can just set them in instead of threading through the holes. This one works out well this way as there is a door to the right of the rack that will ensure that side is always accessible for feeding rods in. With the desk in front of the rack reaching the top slot would have been difficult. Besides, I like the aesthetics of holes over slots. Very nice job! I'd say if you're going to apply a finish to make it a natural one to keep the texture and show off the grain. Got to try some different things out, but you can be sure that the wood will show through. Off the bat I'm going to try some coats of danish oil and then hand paint the recesses with black paint.
