Built my first Pipe Rack.

[revnatorade]

So I'll make this a short thread. I ran out of room for pipes like we all do and decided that I had enough skills to build my own rack. After some carful measurements I came up with this rack here. The top and bottom are made from African Mahogany while the back piece is made from Philipino Mahogany. The bottom rests and back rests have leather pads on them. As a bit of decoration I decided to add a Blantons Stopper that I had laying around. If anyone's interested in a custom pipe rack let me know.

Thanks. I did the two tone specifically for the Dracula pipes. Figured the contrast would be nice.

The contrast looks very smart, good job sir!

Looks great! Nice routing job and nice Drac. collection too. I made a of couple racks a few weeks ago, but the staining did not work out with one of them. Back to the drawing board.

Thanks. What happened with your stain?

Nicely done. Time to start on the next one. You’ll need it. Trust me.

I know how to make the holes on the bottom board, but what did you use on the top? I'm not very wood literate

I used a drill press with an angled plate that I rigged up. It was a pain, but turned out pretty well. I'll have to take some pics of how I did it.

Very nicely done.

Just came out too dark, but I was probably using the wrong type of stain for oak barrel as I only had Febings Leather dye which is what most use on briar. Plus, it was a spur of the moment thing when a relative got an unwanted massive oak lazy susan as a gift and I relieved her of it. Not much planning done. The first one. Very simple design. The 2nd one is more like yours, but is in pieces right now. Again, nice job. Thx for posting.

I love your design. If you're trying to balance out the color you can sometimes sand it with some water to balance out the grain.

Love the Blanton's horse up top. Nice addition!

 

[buckaroo]

Thx for the tip, R. I'll try that next weekend.
