I made a gate from scrap wood and Tiny Turnings, making it up as I went along.
I thought the spindles probably could have been closer together, but it turned out well so I went with it.
The stain is Minwax Dark Walnut. I used brass Houseworks hinges to make it operational.
Right now, I have it propped in place with wax. Once I have the final layout, I’ll add a stop on the side of the counter to keep the gate from swinging too far.
In the end, I like that the spindles are sparse – allows more to be seen through it.
