But why do you keep them all caged up like that? Those are too pretty to keep behind bars...View attachment 763091 View attachment 763092 I use what I could only assume was a spice rack as it's original intended purpose but it works great for my brushes. Picked it up at a flea market for $1 can't complain, nothing fancy but it works.
HaHa.. you're absolutely right! Truth be told the doors are almost never closed.But why do you keep them all caged up like that? Those are too pretty to keep behind bars...
That's a beautiful collection of brushes you have there!View attachment 763091 View attachment 763092 I use what I could only assume was a spice rack as it's original intended purpose but it works great for my brushes. Picked it up at a flea market for $1 can't complain, nothing fancy but it works.

When you cut the slots for the brushes did you cut them all the same width, or is each one custom cut to fit a specific brush?

Suggestion on wood types. For the top rail, where the razor heads will lie, get a very close grained wood, and oil it, rather than varnish. Varnish and shellacs can be great for looks, and possibly waterproofing, but they _can_ stick to the smooth surface of the razors. For native woods, good close grained woods would be mahogany, some oaks, a few maple. For imports, bocote and cocobolo are very beautiful woods that are almost completely waterproof without any treatment at all. I use linseed oil for finishing. You'll want to re-treat with oil at least once a year, possibly twice a year if you're in a very dry climate, or keep the ac and/or heat going all the time.
For the base and uprights, use whatever looks good, and use whatever finish you want.
Thank you. I'll take this advice.
Note that I am not a wood worker; not even a hobby for me. So I have no idea what I'm doing. I used a circular saw for shaping and a Unibit for the holes.
I had to make mine!

What an attractive yet simple and effective design. NiceView attachment 763768
Here is the rack I use. Just a board with some pegs. It will hold 10 brushes or 20 razors or any combination you want to utilize the pegs.
