Western General Store

This project evolved over time as I came up with ideas. Sometimes I pick up a horseshoe and ideas start popping into my head. My husband has a wood shop so we have tons of wood. I grabbed a board and screwed a Large Horseshoe on each side and put a couple of finger towels on it. Cute! But...that wasn't quite what I wanted. How about a napkin holder? You don't need to be a welder to make this! I cut a piece of mahogany to 6 5/8" long  x 2 3/8" wide x 1" thick and screwed Large Horseshoes to it after they were spray painted black. You can use any wood and color schemes. Standard napkins fit perfectly! Then I decided to make a no weld hand towel stand. I took the base from a previous project ( Longhorn Jewelry Holder ) which is 6" x 6" x 3/4" thick. The mahogany post is 1 3/4" x 1" x 16" tall. The Medium Star , 2 Large Horseshoes, and a  Small Star Nai l for the top were spray painted black. Try other type...

I picked up one of these handles for an idea and it came to me in a split second. You could use our XL or Large Cast Iron Handles for towel holders. You could seal them, paint them or let them rust. Great for the kitchen, bathroom or on the side of a rustic cooler.

This may not be an original idea, but I haven't seen it anywhere else. I didn't have a place in the bathroom for a towel bar so my husband welded together an old horseshoe, square tubing, and a star for this hand towel holder to sit by the sink. I spray painted it black and I love it! It's functional and fits in nicely with my rustic/western décor.
