The very first step in building coat racks is to decide the spot that you want to mount the coat rack. The shape of the coat rack and the quantity of pegs that are required for your needs. The next step in putting together your coat rack is to decide which type of wood and stain you have need of in order to match your interior decorations.

Once the determination has been settled on as to the type of wood. We create Oak, Cherry and Maple wall mounted coat racks. You will need to decide a satin nickel hook shape or a wood peg design. You can customarily collect all the items you require at a home depot store most have a good selection of brass hooks and Shaker pegs and several different kinds of wood. If you are determine on exotic type of wood such as Black Cherry you may have to search for it.

It will be necessary to sand your coat rack by and large down to 180 grit, sandpaper this will leave a even piece of wood rub on the color on. Whether it be solid Black Cherry or a brass hook coat rack that you are building .

We choose to use an oil base wiping color such as made by Minwax. Be certain that your coat hook is dust free. Choose the color you want, be sure to agitate the color thoroughly. (hint: you can test the color on extra hunk of wood) Freely wipe on the color I customarily use a rag for this let the color sit for a few minutes and clean up the extra if you need a more intense color apply a second coat and rub the color in.

Once the color has dried you may put on a top coat. We top coat our wall coat racks with a gloss lacquer that is sprayed on you can use shellac, if you desire. It is customarily best to put on several coats you might desire to sand with 360 in-between applications to remove any dust. After the final application sand with 360 then use a white pad and some carnauba wax to rub your wood coat rack to a gloss finish.
