Small Desk

This is a small desk that I built to go between the bookshelves.  The desk is built from the leftovers from the bookshelf build and finished with Danish Oil and wax.  

Honestly I think the bookshelves look better moved apart.

Veneer

When I originally built by plane cabinet, the back-panel was a cheap piece of 1/4" plywood from the home center.  I had been wanting to replace that panel, and I had been wanting to try using veneer.  I have a future project where I want to use some Walnut burl veneer, which can be a bit pricey, so I purchased some figured Anigre from the sale bin at my local Woodcraft to practice with. Below are the results.

My veneer press...tons of clamps.

Panel all sanded with some Danish oil.

Panel installed in the cabinet...much better.

Kitchen Chalkboard

This was another "honey-do" project that my wife had been wanting me to build.  The beauty of building your own projects like this is that it can be custom sized to fit in a specific space.

Bookshelves - Part 5

The bookshelves are finally completed and installed.  This was one of the largest projects that I have done, and I am incredibly pleased with the results.

Entry Way Shelf

With some leftover walnut from the bookshelf project I put together a quick entry-way shelf with some coat hooks that were bought from Hobby Lobby.  The hooks are for my three daughters (red) and one son (blue-green).  Same finish as the bookshelves, multiple coats of Danish Oil.

Five coats of Danish Oil later...

Now on to the next bookshelf.

Bookshelves - Part 3

Gluing on the face-frame, again I need more clamps.

Custom molding

Molding installed with the first coat of Danish Oil.
