Thanks! Years ago, the first thing I made with the barn wood was a shelf. I paired it with a late 1800s, early 1900s stained glass window from a local Santa Cruz house. It’s a small arched dormer wood window that I refurbished leaving a bit of the original exterior paint patina and I reglazed all of the stained glass to tighten it back up. The interior side of the window still has its lock hardware and now crackled varnish. Another kind of East meets West (wife and I) idea.

I love repurposing mundane items like that to create a new use for them.

It’s heavy enough that it hangs with a pair of offset hanger wires. No French cleat,
