Barn Door Hall Tree

I have been a busy lady prepping for a show. And, I always make so much and then don't take the time to stop and take pictures for you.

For this show I only managed to take pictures of a few things. One was this barn door inspired hall tree.

This isn't actually a barn door, but it is made from barnwood and the cross piece of wood reminds me of a barn door.

I attached the wood pieces to a shipping crate that was left at our house when we moved into it.

I added a shelf on the horizontal piece that joins the three barnwood pieces together. I rusted some hooks in vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, and salt.

I made a lid for the shipping crate. I did reinforce the top inside edge of the crate with 1"x 2" boards.

A coat of Minwax polyacrylic brought out the beauty of the wood.

Here is a picture from my booth, showing some of the projects I didn't get pictures of before I loaded them up.
