Project Information

I had this shelf design in my head (that I more than likely saw on LJ's). I was looking for something to practice my dado's and my wife wanted a shelf to put dvd's and such on. PROJECT TIME!! This was a lot of fun. I battled with rounding over the curved pieces, but was persuaded otherwise. I like the end result.

I don't have a dado blade, so I just used my regular tablesaw blade. It was probably a bit more time consuming but it slowed me down enough to not make as many mistakes (or design changes). I covered the bottom, unused dado space with dark walnut (someone elses idea). The top, bottom & shelves are hickory and the sides are cherry. All the wood is either from a dumpster or from my LJ neighbor (amoon).

I used a natural stain by "Cabot. Tomorrow I will put a semi-gloss spur urethane. I was pretty stoked about my shelf, so I posted it prior to full completion…. Still working on my patience.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Thank you
Robert

Looks awesome and I stand by the suggestion to not roundover the curved pieces.

without a beginning there can be no end. …….woodworking, I prefer to see it as a journey, rather then a destination.

great start
