I built this plate shelf for a friend. She saw one in a catalog that was very similiar for about $130.00. I build her this one for about a grand total of $20.00. It was built basically from scrap wood laying around. It was built out of a 2×8 chunk of pine, a 2×4 pine and left over oak scrap, that was cut thin on the bandsaw. The oak was thin enough that I could inlay it into the groove I routed around the outside of the pine shelf.
I sure like the oak/pine combination. It was finished with the beewax rub I mentioned in a previous post.

Hi Steelwinky;
—-nice piece of shelved ‘wood art’ there!
And I agree with you, very good combination of pine and oak….oh yes, before I forget, that finish of beswax is b-ea-u-t-i-full….and then how you laid the oak into the pine at the edges, really great.
Don’t think you’ll be needing my hefty bench for inspiration since I see your mind is all-ready doing just fine at imagination deamscape.
GODSPEED,
Frank

Very nice. At first, I missed the Oak curved around the Pine. More detail there than first meets the eye. Those look like the rustic nails along the edge. It’s kind of hard to see this detail.

Is that her that you have in the freezing cold holding it so you can take a picture? I bet the $130.00 model isn’t anywhere near as well built and so nicely finished.

Love the pine. I do lots of stuff in pine as well. Must be that Rocky Mountain upraise’n I have.
