This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEA curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in Roundwood Working.

A good solid tree branch can be turned into a functional wall hook without the need for jointery. A tree crotch that is sturdy is a valuable thing and recognizing which ones are strong vs which are weak will serve you well moving forward in woodworking.

To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
Craft a minimum of two individual coat hooks.
Must be crafted from tree crotches.
Should be installed properly.
Must be done with manual hand tools.





To document and become certified for this BB provide photos or video (less than 2 minutes) showing the following:
- Show the tree crotches prior to working on them with the tools you intend to use
- Show the hangers partway through the process
- Show the finished and installed hooks.

We made coat hooks out of tree branches in scouts today. One was kinda dry applewood. The other was elm greenwood. We had fun! We put them on the wall in my shed.
