I made a wall tower hanger made from a rough cut 2×3 piece of reclaim oak. I used a 3D printer to make keyhole hangers.
Rip the 2x3s into 2x1s – Resaw the 2x3s into 2×1 planks.
Plane the wood – Make sure to plane sides to a smooth finish, it will avoid alot of sanding
Cut the pieces on the mitre saw – Make sure to mirror the 8″ parts that are the sides
Assembly – Use wood glue for every joint
3D Printed keyhole hangers – You can buy them premade or carve them with a plunge router too
Final assembly / Screws – Clamp everything down before letting it dry
Prestaining – This helps the stain absorb evenly
Staining – I went with dark walnut for the stain
Finish – I used acrylic polyurethane for the finish, several coats are needed.
Done! – Enjoy your new oak towel rack!
