My old kitchen towel bar

Sharing helps others too!

My old kitchen towel bar was looking like this…

Bit droopy!  Like a few of my other things but let’s not go there right now. :/

If you’re interested in buying a glass towel bar be warned they are hard to find.  I guess most broke!

Here’s how I fixed the droop in the towel bar.

So I took it to the workshop.  Grabbed a piece of leftover cedar.  Cut it 3 inches longer than the glass rod.  Then, I grabbed my bead edge router bit.  It creates a bead or half round edge along the wood.

Then preceded to router an edge.  Perfect for the dust to settle nicely along the top edge!!!  Anyway I like the beaded edge:)

Then I carefully marked the centers of the glass rod on both ends.  I figured I needed to be pretty exact because I don’t think the glass will give much!

Now my favorite technique to turn a new piece of wood into old aged barn wood.

Check out my book below about the barn wood technique. After hundreds of projects using steel wool and vinegar, I had to develop and expand the technique.

Above are some of the wood techniques created for the book.

The kitchen towel bar is the basic technique.

I simply screwed my old kitchen towel bar back into place.

No more drooping towel bar.

Wish it would be that easy to fix my other droopy areas!
