I needed a coat rack for the new shop

I thought the mushrooms would make a good coat rack. I turned the tenon off center so they point upwards slightly to help hold the coats and hats. It will be interesting to see how well the paint holds up over the years.

A new shop and you already have fungus growing it ! Cool idea .

How thick is the tenon? A problem I've had with this kind of peg is somebody eventually either hanging something too heavy or pulling down too hard on the peg (via something hanging there). Not too hard to drill out and replace, but still a nuisance.
7/16 I usually use 3/8 for oak
