Project Information
I see we're talking about photographing our projects, so here's an example of a before and after pic of my shelf project using a digital camera and a photoshop type program to crop, enhance tone, and remove distracting background.
This is a small shelf I made for my son that will mount below a hallway mirror. I wanted to give more substance (for lack of a better term) so I made it thicker by trying kerfing for the first time and adding upper and lower "decks" to go better with the mass of the mirror. I was able to use pine and just seal it as it will be antiqued to match the mirror. I wasn't as happy as I'd have liked with the bending job, but it was my first try since I learned the procedure (in shop class in the last millennium), so if I try again, I'll get better. -SST
