Handcrafted Wooden Coat Rack with Crab Design

Introduction

A handcrafted wall-mounted coat rack made from wormy maple — a wood prized for its natural character marks left by beetle activity, making every board genuinely one of a kind. Laser-engraved with two Maryland blue crabs, each filled with the state flag, and fitted with three repurposed vintage brass hooks. At 18" × 4.5" × 0.75" with a clear enamel finish and ready to hang, this is a piece that earns a spot in any entryway, kitchen, or beach house.

Handmade in Maryland

Every BCN Woodcrafts piece is individually crafted and finished in our Maryland workshop. Wormy maple is a special material — the natural tunneling left by beetles gives each board a pattern that's impossible to replicate. No two coat racks will ever look identical.

Real Wood Feels Better.

Care & Maintenance

Wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct moisture. The clear enamel finish protects both the wood and the hardware for everyday use.
