WIP pics - PB shelves

Maurice

>It seems like I've been working on these shelves forever but it has really only been six months. Finally I can show WIP pics. The shelves are from Pottery Barn but I chose African mahogany instead of mdf.

Hand planes, hand scraper, hand saw, hand sand, and router.



























This is our favorite shelf. The stripes in the mahogany show up the best. Lesson #50,001, purchase all wood at the same time.


Pretty good job of grain matching for my fist time doing a glue up. Edge jointed with #7, yellow glue, pipe clamps.




See lesson #50,001. Pretty dramatic differences.

Still need to do the frame pieces and then starting putting the whole thing together. Thanks for the help so far.
