It has been awhile since I posted here so let me give you an update on the curtain rod brackets and show you what we did. My contractor wanted a web site and I needed curtain rod brackets so we bartered services. I had leftover wood and it was easy for him to manufacture so we had a win-win situation here.
The brackets are made from my leftover Honduran mahogany. Here are the long awaited pics of the unfinished brackets and the finishing process.
Here you can see a complete bracket and the two halves that make it up.

The brackets are match drilled. We had to number them to keep the sets together.
All of my materials: curtain rod brackets and Varathane clear semi-gloss.
Taking all of the brackets apart in preparation for finishing. Ebony plugs will fill the holes.
The brackets are apart and ready for finishing with Varathane.
