I'm sorry, I've been really busy the last month. Thanks so much for the kind comments. About putting the ribbon spools on the rods: The dowels are spring loaded, sort of like a toilet paper holder. The main rods are 3/4 inches with holes drilled in one end with a 3/8 dowel inserted over the top of a compressed spring. I didn't want to drill holes in the ends of the rack and this is what I came up with. If you look at the very left of the rods, you can see just a tad bit of the smaller dowel. They fit tightly enough so that they actually "snap" into place.
I was telling the person that messaged me, that I'm backed up with Christmas present projects until after the first of the year. After that I may take some orders and I'll come back and see if anyone is interested. Someone asked if I can stain and the answer is yes. Glass doors could be done.
Thanks so much, lloyd email addy is [email protected]

Hi, it looks good. Suggest you make a larger size as well. It would sell. At the very bottom where you have that curved piece I would insert another rod for hanging. No telling what it would be used for, towel, fabric, more ribbon, who knows. I do not like wasted space and that is crying gimme a another rod....

The extra rod mentioned would be easy and could be considered and option. The friend who I made this for had a specific area on a wall that she wanted the rack to hang and I made it to the specs she gave me. I had considered a 36" wide version that would make it nearly a foot wider. Below is one of my mantle clocks..
