Thread: brush/soap/strop rack

Well I'm far from a woodworker, just really love working with wood. Luckily we have some beautiful wood in the local store and surrounding us as well. I'm in the process of making a simple brush,soap,strop display. Its sanded, glued and has its first coat of varnish applied. I still have to apply an additional coat of varnish and the brass to decorate as well, not to mention the two brass hooks at the bottom to hang the strops, hanging and paddles that I have recently made. What do you think? Good Bad or Otherwise? I can take the truth. The wood used is bloodwood as i found a few AMAZING pieces locally( if anyone needs any to make scales pm me and I can easily share) the colors were out of this world, the shelves are out of Honduran rosewood as i had a few pieces laying around, i thought about purple heart but decided i dont want to take away from the bloodwood. Anyway here is the progression thus far.
respectfully,
Christian

The shelf looks great, love Bloodwood. Post some pics again when it's done and loaded with all the goodies

I was just thinking about making something like. I'm gonna need a floor to ceiling one though lol

Nice work!

Are you adding any fixtures for the strops?

Im in the Coast Guard so in the rounded section that will be the top I'll be placing my rank insignia which is an anchor, at the bottom section which is the square section Ill be placing two solid brass hooks, one for paddles one for hanging strops and also on each shelf adding brass corners to each, and dont think for a second that it wont be filled before its actually done, that just means Ill have to make another.
