15. Warm Walnut Accordion Expandable Rack
Nodding to mid-century modern utility, a wall-mounted wooden accordion rack crafted from rich American walnut expands and contracts dynamically. Its crisscross geometric lattice provides multiple angled pegs for hanging hand towels and robes.
How to Make It
- Mill multiple thin strips of solid American walnut with precision drill points at the intersections.
- Connect the wooden strips using decorative brass rivet pins that allow smooth pivoting action.
- Mount the two anchor ends to wall studs, allowing users to pull or push the rack to their desired width.
Tips and Variations
- Finish the walnut with a natural beeswax polish to highlight the deep, chocolate wood grain.
- Paint the tips of the accordion pegs in soft matte white for a playful two-tone look.
