Built Another Pipe Rack

[revnatorade]

Built a new pipe rack out of Granadillo Wood. I decided on a rounded pipe rack which presented some difficulties but overall came out like I wanted. I did not stain the wood as I really love the grain and wanted the contrast it provided. I decided to cut the top mount in the shape of a pipe as I thought it would look cool and imo, it does. Hope you all enjoy your pics. If you have any question let em know. I'm always happy to help and give tips. I'll post a follow up Pic after I get the leather pads glued down.

What did you use to cut the scallops for the bowls?

A 1 3/4" classical plunge router bit with my drill press. I would not attempt this without a drill press or a plunge router. It's probably possible but I'm sure you would have the bit walking all over if your weren't careful

Where did you get that bit, do you remember?

Beautiful work! I like the open slots at the top. I have an old rack from Dunhill with holes at the top. None of my stems fit through them LOL.

I've got a Decatur rack with the same issue. If it's not a straight stem good luck getting it in.

...as noted in your other rack thread - excellent job! Love seeing other pipe racks. It is probably the most singular underserved item in the pipe world that almost always sends those with some woodworking skills to visit necessity, the mother of creation...

That’s very handsome. It has a little more modern look than the ones you normally see on eBay or elsewhere.

That's why I started making my own. I bought one on Amazon which is mcie and golds ten pipes, but they tend to fall out if you're not careful, and the rest are kind of boring.
