We’ve completed four of the six shelves — routing, sanding, staining, sealing and all — the last two should get wrapped up this week. The completed four are stowed in the dining room until we can do all the rest of the work in the living room… which starts next week. “And miles to go before I sleep…”
Here’s a pic to document the progress so far. While not easily seen here, the stain brings out a gorgeous pattern in the birch, very reminiscent of ripples in water. The maple trim on the front edges is ever so slightly lighter in shade than the birch, and I think it makes a nice accent.
They look great! Congrats on completion. Well, at least of the shelves. Good luck with the livin room.
