Farm Tool Handle Hooks
I've been saving these two tool handles for years now...
and today I decided what to do with them.
I cut what was left of this jagged wooden handle flat
on top. I coated the weathered handle with dark stain to bring out the richness of the wood, then added a vintage hook.
The second one has a great rusty metal patina.
What it didn't have was any kind of wooden pole in the metal handle so I added a short wooden pole with a hook.
These great farm tool handles give
farmhouse character to an otherwise ordinary hook.
Please take a look at more Homeroad projects using hooks:
Love those, such a great idea! ~Sonya

These are great, Susan!
ReplyDeleteReally fun idea! I just bought an old shovel, complete with cool old handle, this week at a thrift store. I didn't have a plan for it but it was only $1.00 so I bought it.......now you've given me a great idea!! Thx!

Nice. Can you hang a towel over the bottom of the handel on the left as well...?
ReplyDeleteYou could!
DeleteThese are Fab Susan! Love Them!
ReplyDeletewhat a great way to re-use old broken handles....like it!
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the shovel one. I have an old shovel too. Do I have a wall for it?
