I put this together using recycled pine from an old barn. Made from true 2in X 8in X 14ft beam. Metal detector came in handy :)

Plans came from a FWW magazine. I welcome all comments.

Very nice. It has a warm feel about it. Not fussy at all. You should be very pleased with it. Obviously, someone already is.;)

Very nice Dennis. I really like the design. Isn't FWW a great resource?

Very nice! Picked some wood earlier today to build one...wife spotted it in the FWW also and put in a request. Did you follow the plans completely or make any changes?

Hi Kelly,

yeah, I pretty much followed the plans to the exception of the finish. I went with dark walnut and 4 coats of wipe-on poly. Very smooth glass-like finish. Quite pleased with it.

I'm finishing off a mission-style mantle clock - and trying to pull it off using one 6 foot piece of maple. I think I'll be able to pull it off !

Dennis, that's a beautiful shelf and a great use for recycled wood from an old barn.

Nice job! The old pine looks good.....

Gary, not sure what issue it was but it's either 2 or 3 months old (sitting at my desk so I don't have the stack of mags handy at the moment).


Cheers,
Greg
