Has anyone ever thought of making their own wooden hooks?  I haven't but ran into these links.  What do you think???

I believe it would take a lot of patience to get the sizing right.  But it would be fun to try doing it!

Ahhhhh, he did a great job on those.
I bet he could make them and you could sell those on Etsy
or Ebay.

Great job on them Miss Kitty.  Let me know how they work once you get them sanded and all.

Not my Hubbie.. He doesn't have the patience for sanding. The furniture in the house that he made is sanded by me.. The 2 shelves that I didn't sand, the dust cloth snags when you try to dust it...

Just like a guy!  LOL!  That's funny, cause on all the home improvement jobs we have done, I am the measuring  person, the sander, prep person, painter, caulker.  All those jobs that take attention to detail.  DH just cuts things with the saw!  Hmm, maybe I should delegate and I do the cutting.  Heck it's  power tools, I can run those! hee hee hee!
