Rustic Towel Rack/Shelf
The basement bath in our cabin came with a standard towel rack that held two bath towels. Since most of our guests will be using this bathroom we needed to accommodate more than that!
So I found this on Pinterest and used it as my inspiration. My version is made from a 1x4, 1x10, with a 1x6 for the shelf. I cut a bunch of aspen tree rounds but found the wood hadn’t dried enough so I substituted rounds from my favorite peach tree which I had removed a year ago. I had cut larger branches up for firewood and they had been stored in the shed. They were dry. I also used branches from a neighbors lilac which he had given to me.
I cooked the rounds in the microwave for one minute to kill any critters and put one coat of poly on them. Hot glue was very effective for securing the tree rounds to the board.
We had three hooks left over from other changes we made in our bathrooms. We bought three more hooks of one variety and two of another for a total of eight hooks. We are pleased with the results.
Any thoughts or questions?
