Coat hook

I took a joint of one of the cedar branches, removed the bark, and whittled it into a coat hook, one long enough that I could attach it to its support with two screws put through pilot holes that I drilled.

I was wondering if the green cedar wood would be oozing sap or oil to any extent; it doesn't seem to be.  It does have a light cedar scent.

I put it on the side of one of our wooden shelves, in a place where my husband frequently leaves his coat on the floor.  Given the weight of things that he often carries in his pockets, I didn't want to attach the hook directly to the wall.  So far it is holding with no cracking.
