Suggested Uses
This oak shaker peg is a refined choice for assembling wardrobe racks, hallway organizers, and kitchen panels where hangers for coats, bags, or utensils are needed. Restore antique furniture with authentic detail or add a row of pegs to benches and mudrooms for added utility. Crafters employ these for mug trees, jewelry holders, and even minimalist wall-mounted storage for small tools or accessories. A clever idea: use several in a grid pattern to form a movable rack in a studio, offering both display and functional storage for aprons, tools, or supplies. The strong oak construction supports daily use whether in living spaces, workshops, or garages.
