I finished the board with tung oil, it looks so good I may leave it in the living room as an accent piece.

Bootjack
During the blizzard of 2010 it became apparent I was getting too old to remove my boots without some aide, so I made a basic bootjack from stuff lying around the lab.
- oak board scrap (already had a dado cut)
- stair nosing scrap, which almost fit into the dado cut.
- leather scrap from an old pigskin rucksack, it has been used for a lot of projects.
- bracket made from copper pipe scrap which started out as a plant marker prototype.
I guess that's why I save scrap, you can't live with out a boojack.

OK, OK I was skeptical but I have to say that the bootjack does work well for my big lazy old ass that can't bend down any more!
