Cast iron is da bomb. In our newly remodeled kitchen, I hung three planks of raw edged redwood with about 12 hooks for my cast iron collection. Looks good and where else can you keep your dozen plus collection?
Yes, I am a believer in them. I was given a huge one 13.5 inches across by my brother’s wife, because she is a very slight woman, and was unable to even pull it out of the cabinet!
I love it...:)
I can imagine how great your collection looks on the raw-edged redwood!
