    Default Black Forest Wall Shelf - Project of the Month APRIL 2012

    Hello,

    Here is a preview of the next Project of the Month (for APRIL 2012), the Black Forest Wall Shelf.

    This wall shelf project features a leaf and curved wood branch design that draws its inspiration from legendary Black Forest design themes. The decorative shelf is great for displaying favorite knick knacks, a small plant or a special treasured item.

    The project uses the 1/16" Carving Bit and the 1/8" Cutting Bit. The overall dimensions of the finished project are about 18"h x 10¼" w x 5½"d.

    Main items you will need:

    1) The Project Files (included):
    • Black_Forest_Panel.mpc
    • Shelf-and-Bracket.mpc

    2) Boards with the following dimensions:
    Black Forest Panel: .75" x 11" x 25”
    Shelf and Bracket: .75" x 6" x 22"

    (NOTE: Do not use boards that are smaller than specified above, or if you are using a sled, you can subtract 7" from the length of the board and have the sled provide the extra 7" required)

    3) Five #6 wood screws, countersink bit

    4) Sandpaper, drill, wood glue, epoxy, stain or paint and clear finish

    5) A Dremel-type rotary tool with assorted sanding wheels and bits to sand small details and speed up preparation for finishing.

    Apply stain/paint and clearcoat of your choice. Here’s what I used on my Black Forest Wall Shelf made from Select Pine:

    • Minwax Red Oak stain #215
    • Several coats Krylon acrylic clear (spray)

    I am getting it out today. Hold off on activating your new POM until I release it.
