A buddy of mine gave me a nice 18 inch wide slab of sawn cherry with the bark still on it. Bought the RR spikes off eBay and there ya have it.

I like it.
This could be a cool thread. What have other folks done for coat racks?
I built this one for our cabin.
All metal and powdercoated black. The leaves are fake.

Very nice! Looks good, and sturdy, too!

Did you weld that or was it a kit? Impressive!
But I'm glad you clarified "leaves." I thought it was a pink boa.

You can buy those railroad spikes on ebay already bent like that and predrilled. I just painted them. The board was easy too,..just planed it down a bit and put a light coat of sealer on it. I'll get a round to hiding those silver lags. I'll sink them and cover them with a wood plug from the left over wood. Thanks guys...keep the coat racks coming!

I love it! Very rustic which is important to me. Our coat racks are just a series of branches with a Y shape on the wall. Fits in great with our log cabin! Love the live edge on your slab!

LOL. Now that you say that it does look a bit like a boa.
I did weld it all up. The base is an part of an old display stand that I picked up at a swap meet, the pole is a piece black iron plumbing pipe, the top is two pieces of angle iron welded together to form a square section and the hooks I found at Hobby Lobby. I welded it all together, sand blasted the whole thing, and then powdercoated it black.

It's really great work! Looks highly professional. The coat/umbrella racks I've bought at stores just don't hold up. Yours is solid, and attractive, too! (And I like the boa, lol.)

We use coat racks everyday at home. Got them at the cabin as well. One coat, per person.
Like them so much, when I moved my Mother-in-Law to her new condo I kept entering the front door and wanted to hang my jacket on the bare wall, but it's was just a bare wall.
"Gotta install a coat rack here!" I said. A closet is for your out of season stuff.
A coat rack is designed for when you need to exit quickly and grab your sh!t before the frying pan hits you on the head

Here is a pic of our coat rack. A little hard to see but it is a metal rod with tow hooks threaded on to it for hangers. They all slide and are adjustable.

O.K., I don't have torch, so this is cheap, not pretty, but functional

jaransont3,
Is the barn door hardware a kit or did you fabricate it yourself?
I am just now getting around to furnishing my shack and will more than likely borrow some ideals for coat racks from this thread. Keep the great photos coming!
