my mom recently had a birthday and requested a "coat tree" . i had to figure out what a coat tree actually was then i constructed this using only 2 pieces of wood from the land and using sentimental hardwood. this project took me about 2 or 3 days just in spare time here and there. it could be made in a singe day if you have the free time. the smile on her face was satisfying enough to assume that she liked the gift. she sent me links to some that looked nothing like this but once i have an idea i like, i stick with it. what do you think?
