I make these Shaker peg rails at my workshop using hard woods and time honoured techniques. These peg rails are built to last a lifetime. They come in a range of sizes, woods and finishes.

Common Uses

These are usually used as wooden coat pegs for hanging coats and hats and can be used in the kitchen for cups and mugs, tea towels or pans etc. They are useful in the bathroom or bedroom for hanging clothes or towels.

Threaded Tenon

Shaker pegrails with threaded tennon

My pegs feature a threaded tenon which was used on many of the original shaker peg rails and is something you will not find on machine made pegs. This fixing is very strong and allows the fixing screws to be hidden behind the removable pegs.

We also offer Fixed Peg Shaker Peg Rails at a slightly lower cost.

Finishes

• Polished This is polished with many coats of shellac to produce a lustrous finish and is then buffed with natural beeswax. It is a traditional finish and very attractive.
• Oil The oil finish is a very natural finish with a low lustre bringing out the beauty of the wood without a built finish. It does tend to darken the wood slightly but enriches the wood.
• Unfinished Unfinished bare wood sanded and ready for you to paint or stain etc. We use maple for the painted rails as the grain is smother and gives a better finish. Oak is however good for a distressed look as the grain is more raised and can be gently sanded back leaving areas of bare wood
