Spent the day cleaning my workshop and working on a wedding gift. Building out a piano coatrack where the white keys can be levered out to hold coats, then pushed back to get the piano motif. The white keys are made of a curly hard maple, and the black keys out of some walnut. Still have a lot of sanding left and need to build the outer frame.
Rough key layout
Relief cut to let the key rotate.
Initially assembled and working. Really happy how the grain flows across the keys

Also, I know this is a controversial opinion in the Nancy Drew fandom, but I really like the fourth UI aka the “Updated UI” which was in Tomb of the Lost Queen through Sea of Darkness. I love the always present inventory and the expandable task list that moves completed items out of the way. And, I mean, it’s wood grain! What’s not to love??

Some vintage Bath & Body Works massagers. I love the aesthetic design of these and the color palette, it’s everything I love in vintage B&BW.

Spent another day on my piano coatrack, all of it sanding and finishing. So much sanding...
Got the main piano coatrack finished, up next will be the frame
All but four of the keys rotate, but not sure it'll usually be more than a few open at a time.
Process below:
Sanded from 80, all the way up to 400 grit for the white and black keys. Then started applying some homemade shellac. Ended up doing an amber shellac for the black keys and a blonde shellac for the white keys.
After about 6 coats of shellac, sanding with 400 grit between the last three layers, I did a few layers of my homemade beeswax finish buffing till smooth.
