Barn Board Jar Holders

Here are a few Mason jar holders I just made from 1" thick barn board.





I left the angle that was on the ends of my boards at the top and then cut the lower ends straight across.

The bottom piece fits into a rabbet at the lower edge of the back piece.





I have routed out a circular area, about half the thickness of the wood which allows a mason jar to sit into it.









I made three of these, two are 15 3/4" high x 5 3/4" wide, the one just above with a flatter angled top is 13 1/4"  h x 5 1/2" wide.  They are all coated with tung oil and there is a sawtooth hanger on the back.  I wrap the top of the jar with twine and hot glue it on.

    Ah! I was just planning on making something exactly like this! I hosted a candle party a couple of nights ago, and they had something similar in their magazine... and a current customer pointed it out and asked me to make some for her! Love yours, beautiful job!!

    I'm always looking for new ways to use old barn wood. I've got stacks of the stuff around here. And I love using mason jars for candles and flowers. ;)

    Thanks for linking to Time Travel Thursday again.

    Blessings,
