A co-worker asked me if I did anything other than cutting boards (must have been doing quite a few for her to ask that) and I said “ummmmmm, yes, why?” She said she saw this locker online that they wanted to buy but didn’t want to spend the money that was being asked. Could I do one for less cashola?
Of course I could….sigh
She gave me very specific dimensions because it had a certain spot in the entryway that it had to occupy.
Off to the Big Box store I went to buy the 3/4” Maple plywood. I added Maple hardwood on the edges to give it the finished look and to add some toughness to the edges.
4 coats of Verathane to all surfaces and an additional coat to the horizontal ones.
Measures 42”w x 48” h x 16” d.
She asked if she could show her friends…..Of course she could…..sigh
Cheers…Don
(sorry for the mess)

Really nice, I love the natural look of maple with just a protective topcoat. I am stealing this idea for the entryway in my house, with all the little friends my daughter has over it’s better than trying to squeeze 3 more winter coats in the hall closet.

Not stealing Martin, just borrowing on a permanent basis :)

Hi folks….
Sorry for the delay, I’m on vacation in Australia right now…
Shelves are in dado joints and are covered with the Maple strips. A Rabet joint at the back for the 1/4” plywood
Cheers…Don
