I just spent the last days building this small solid wood rack that I designed for my audio gear. Since the audio stuff kept expanding on my desk I really needed a special small rack to keep it tidy and to fit under my desk so that I have a cleaner workspace and the gear will get less dust.
I made surfaces of solid cedar wood and then used some niangon leftovers for the rest. I was also fond of the idea to mix some modern aesthetics so I used these metal rods for supporting the upper cedar surface.
Then I used a homemade beeswax to polish and protect the wood. Finally I installed a surge protector under the big wooden surface for my power needs.
This is the first time I make solid wood surfaces and I really love the result. It is also the first time I don't use a commercial wood finish but instead a homemade beeswax and I hope it turns out ok. The rack itself is very beautiful, but I was so eager to put my stuff on it that I didn't take a picture without the gear.
